silver_bullet Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 hi ive heard by linking two of the pins in the engines diagnostic port the car will go into trackmode is this true and if so what pins would it be , can you help , cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 As in racing track? Sounds a bit fishy to me. I've never heard of that. What you CAN do by linking 2 pins together is get the ECU to tell you about any error codes that have been logged. Perhaps that was what your source meant.

michael Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 This isn't a case of internet Chinese whispers where removing the TRAC fuse in the engine bay apparently defeats the UK speed limiter and gives more aggressive shifts is it? TRAC > Track Aggressive shifts > "Race Mode" Diagnostics Port > Fuse Box Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRAC > Track Aggressive shifts > "Race Mode" Diagnostics Port > Fuse Box Maybe? Is this the one that can potentially damage the autobox? Or am I way off here?

Ian C Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Joining the diagnostics pins actually puts the car into a limp-home mode with backed off timing so it'd give you quite the opposite results... -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Is this the one that can potentially damage the autobox? Or am I way off here? I don't think anyone has managed to destroy their box within minutes of removing the fuse but it's widely accepted that the "aggressive" shifts could make the life of the box shorter than it would be normally - I don't think we know if this is 10 miles or 10,000 miles shorter though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The only "track mode" i can remember was the TEMS mod on celica, supra mk3, soarers etc etc, were it just sets the suspension on the hardest setting. Dont know if the same applied to jza80's fitted with REAS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 It's totally true. There are a little known four pins behind the fag lighter than give you an extra 50 bhp when pushed in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Track mode lol... they never put it in becasue they knew no one would track them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Think Michael may be spot on with this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Think Michael may be spot on with this one Sounds like it. Had a quick read of some old threads earlier and noticed RedM mentioned the aggresive gear changes on the autobox and potential damage in a thread concerning the removal of the TRAC butterfly. Which all seems to tie in with the removal of the TRAC fuse. Side question then if I can. If I went with RLTC and of course wanted rid of the stock UK traction control, the only way I can see to cut the stock traction control out of the loop is to switch it off by the switch each time I get in. Being an auto I can't remove anything mechanical from the system without upsetting things. Is this right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can ditch the Trac control system - i.e. pump etc etc on the UK spec without any problems Burna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondango Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 UK spec uses the same TRAC throttle but also have a a large TRAC pump which interfaces with the ABS system. Removing the TRAC control isnt as staiight forward as on a jspec. Theres a guide on mkiv.com, but you have to remember your RHD so somethings are a little different, i.e. routing new brake line.

If you go with rltc you can leave the stock trac switched on as the racelogic cuts in way before the stock one does, or you can come to rotorstock and bug me to build the switchoff box that i've had designed on paper for over 6 months now.

silver_bullet Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 i think it was the track mode that refures to a soarer i was refering to , stiffening the suspension and giving better throttle response , but from futher investigatuions i dont think it applies to a jza80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
