I preferr driving my Enthusiast with the TCS off, but always forget to turn it off after an engine restart since it defaults back to "on".

My question is has anyone tried installing a switch to defeat the default "return to on" function after engine restart for the TCS.

Looking at the wiring diagram in the FSM, it appears that the factory TCS off dash switch merely grounds a terminal on the TCS control module to turn off the system. It also appears the "return to on" function is in the TCS off dash switch itself, not the control module.

This would imply one could wire a another parallel toggle switch to ground that would permanently ground the off terminal. This switch could be under the dash and switched off to return back to the normal OE defaults.

Just want to check before I do it and fry something, I did a search and didn't find the answer.

 

cupcar, did you end up trying this out yet?

 

Fiddler has made a switch to do this for you. I think he charges $75 for the whole setup and it only requires 3 wires to be cut/crimped. search for him here or on www.freshalloy.com

 

I need one of these too.......

 

I have not tried permanently grounding the TCS box.

Fiddlers control unit is for a VDC off not TCS off function. I looked at Fiddlers site and noted that the TCS off button in my car is different than the VDC off button pictured in the instructions and would not pry out of the dash, so I am not confident the kit would work for me.

 

Keep me in the loop if anyone comes up with something on this....
