Traction Control

doubtful, otherwise ppl would have already found it


my guess is that it's a different ecu.

Somebody knows how to disable ABS on a 99 Solara SE V6 automatic? maybe do a switch to disable it like tonight on the snow.. sad that it doesnt get tracion control..

that's because they use the same gauge cluster for all the solaras regardless of included features in the actual car




as for disabling ABS...it's pretty easy...just disconnect or cut one of the sensor wires....then the ABS light will come on and you won't get ABS...

couldnt you just pull the ABS fuse to disable?

i know that my mazda 626 was able to disable that way....though i havent looked if the abs fuse is under the dash, or under the hood.

but if it's there, it'll at least be reversible.

Thanks for the tips.. Im gonna check for the ABS fuse.. 99% of time it's very usefull here in Canada.. but it's longer to stop sometimes on the snow.. thanks!

Why would it take longer to stop in snow with ABS?

I would think it would be more stable, therefore faster. i.e.: if your wheels start to spin or lock, you aren't stopping very fast, or controlled.

No it takes longer...except if you break hard and the snow get under the tire and then it slide on ice..

But I like the ABS..it make possible to break hard on snow/ice and keep turning where you want..but it takes longer.

Here we get snow for 3 days now and it's usefull.. I wanted to try without the ABS to feel the difference.

I guess that we migh just need to connect one more wire on the ECU to get traction control.. I try to find on the camry manual..I need to understand the schema.
