tcs not working

03snakeminated · October 4th, 2008, 11:57 AM

the dude that tuned my car with diablo predator, told me he can't just turn it on, so my question, is there a way to turn the tcs on?, it kinda sucks here in florida in rainy days not been able to use it, is this normal when tuning with the predator? any way to get around it?

01GTstang · October 4th, 2008, 09:51 PM

I don't believe that. I know with my xcal turning tc off with the tuner just disables it all the time and if you leave it on you can just turn it off and on right there in front of the shifter like normal. Did he give you the handheld?

Doc8224 · October 4th, 2008, 09:55 PM

Yes the diablo is a one way street, either tune it off or leave it alone and turn it off and on yourself. I can't turn mine on and I have the diablo as well. If you need it sometimes you are better off just leaving it alone and turning it off when you don't want it.

So you can turn it back on with the handheld you just have to reflash the car right?

Yes you will have to go to modify parameters and change it back.

then i offer the same advice to you sir. if you need TC to drive your car, you don't know how to drive your car

Smoothgrandmama · October 5th, 2008, 05:26 PM

Also the cobra and a Gt handle way diff and the trac control is not even close to the same with a 4v supercharged engine

I don't even have TC on my car and the GT isn't the only V8 RWD car i own that doesn't have TC.

01GTstang · October 5th, 2008, 09:52 PM

i dont have it on in my cobra or my gt and i have dr's on both but im a drivin fool what can i say haha but the cobra will light em up with street tires when its dry just as easily as the gt will in the rain

Doc8224 · October 6th, 2008, 11:55 AM

Just because he doesn't wanna go around pedaling his car in the rain all the time doesn't mean he can't drive. You guys need to quit bashing people in their own thread. Either help him out or move on. I wish I had my TCS available sometimes because its snow I have to worry about not the rain.

why would you need it in the rain. all you need is throttle control in your right foot.
