The ABS still works, but the tracs part has stopped for some unknown reason. Maybe if I reset the ABS computer, sems to work on all the other ECUs

just a quicky ?
if your "compatible"
Yes please anytime, day or night
hey, check out my viberating "pedal" and the lack of "tracs"
--------------------
in reset mode :
for a real drive pleasure you might not be proud of abs, and surely of tracs.
I wish the constructors in Helmond had thought of a switch, a "temorary fun mode" if you wish, to switch both ABS and/or TRACS off!
because:
with ABS You can't get a decent wheel slip, and the fun you can have with a controled wheelslip....
with Tracs, its like a bad gremlin cuts out the throttle and employes the brakes if you try to tap on her tail ... so why all the power if you can't use it ?
Nowadays cars have this feature. Does a 480 ? and if no, can it be build ?, did anyone ?

Joke deleted but
As far as disabling tracs / abs, I am sure it's possible. I may have a look at it a some point in the future. It is possible that the controler has already got an input pin to disable the tracs part, since most other cars do have a disable feature.

Agree with this, but it's not an everyday thing.... Not unless you don't like your tyres!volvofox wrote:

tracs doesn't cut the throttle, it just puts the brake on the wheel that is spinning. It does make taking off from a standing start quicker, without having to worry about wheelspin too much.volvofox wrote: with Tracs, its like a bad gremlin cuts out the throttle and employes the brakes if you try to tap on her tail ... so why all the power if you can't use it ?
