I wonder if I turn VDC or ESP(I got a UK Zed) off, does the traction control still kick in?
as my experience, I can't feel TC any more...
but friend of mine said he heard from a japanese tv program said Zed's TC can't be turned completely off...
any ideas?

 

I believe you can wire in an on/off switch at the lead to the gyro. This will turn it off.

There is also a company in your area that sells a box which allows more control over the system. Off-hand I cannot remember their name though....

 

Turning off VDC does completely shut it down....



... except if you hold down your brake and gas at the same time

 

Never mind. I thought this was important to you. Important enough to say “thanks” or simply reply.

 

ur driving it u tell me... when u turn the switch off is it on or off..

 

ABS is still on. I believe VDC is just related to the thottle input. Anyone?

 

^ I believe that is correct

This has been a little gray area for me as well. Where does TCS end and VDC begin...

 

all u gotta do is pull a little fuse lol but then ur speedo doesnt work and ur milage counter stops counting, very illegal

 

and also im not kidding when i say this but if u do a few donuts at some point all the driving aids shut off including ABS, dash looks like a christmas tree lol

 

Both are correct. VDC OFF turns everything but the ABS off.

 

It's all explained in the FSM - it's worth the download.
