Wired in a circuit to have traction control turn off automatically (vid)

asiansensation78 · January 20th, 2011, 01:22 PM

This circuit turns off traction control as soon as I start my car. As opposed to turning off the system with my handheld tuner, the TC switch still works and I can turn the system back on if it's raining severely or snowing outside

If there's enough interest, I can start selling these circuits prewired with instructions. My e-mail is jerry@mustangkeyless.com

Thats pretty cool, does it affect your abs at all when you turn the switch on and off.

asiansensation78 · January 20th, 2011, 01:31 PM

Nope

, this circuit only turns off the TC, just as if you were hitting the switch to turn it off. The ABS is not affected at all.

reps for doing something different

You seem to be on your shit with car wiring/electronics you need to start your own bizz with all of it just like that pushstart setup you have. Just an idea.

codycat91 · January 20th, 2011, 02:05 PM

How much is involved and how expensive would it be to do this?

R3dFyre02 · January 20th, 2011, 04:02 PM

I want. i want i want!!!!

I second this.

Jerry, there are a million different things I'd like to do to my car that involve wiring, and to think of doing them gives me the heebie jeebies. Reps for being an innovator. Next time I get a great idea of how to make our cars better, I'll PM you and see what you think. I might just be able to give you the million-dollar idea...but I'd want 90% of the return.

zinc-vert02 · January 20th, 2011, 04:11 PM

yeas how much is this?

MikeJones · January 20th, 2011, 04:15 PM

Good work Jerry.

cedsks · January 20th, 2011, 04:25 PM

Is that just based off a 555 timer circuit? Yea I would buy one from you....

bigjohnstud4200 · January 20th, 2011, 04:28 PM

mine turns off everytime I start my car too.. unfortunately,something is wrong with my ABS control unit or sensors, but it's not high on my priority list. Sad Panda

Black Bullitt · January 20th, 2011, 04:34 PM

I'd be interested in it.

asiansensation78 · January 20th, 2011, 04:57 PM

Thanks for the support guys! Really appreciate it. If I receive 3 or more orders, they'll be $30 each including all wiring, electrical connectors, and instructions shipped to the lower 48 states. The only tools required are pliers and a 8mm socket. Install took me a little over 15 minutes, there are only 3 wires to connect and 1 wire to ground, so it's pretty simple.

@Jay Sounds like a plan bro, I'm always interested in fresh ideas. I've probably rewired 25% of my car already, just haven't bothered with making a youtube video for each little thing lol. Btw when we gonna smoke some cigars and hit the track?

@cedsks the first schematic I drew up was based on a 555 timer and capacitor and had a 5 second delay before the trigger charge was released. When I slept on it though I kinda figured it to be a bit redundant so the design I have now is simpler. Just a rectifier diode and a relay controlling the activation charge.

@bigjohnstud4200 yeah unfortunately in our cars the TC system is dependent on the ABS system, so if the ABS goes, so does the TC. It's a pretty common issue but probably isn't a huge deal unless you drive in the rain or snow a lot.

cedsks · January 20th, 2011, 05:55 PM

I agree with your simplification off the 555 timer, if u are selling them for 30 I would take one if it is inclosed in a project box.... Otherwise for that money I would pass.... Just an idea if u are going to sell alot of them, PM me to arrange payment if it is in a plastic project box....

codycat91 · January 20th, 2011, 06:06 PM

Count me in, I'm down for $30

R3dFyre02 · January 20th, 2011, 07:35 PM

Im in for 30, but like stated, hoping its enclosed.

Please please please make one of these that will turn off the OD automatically for us auto guys. That is a money maker right there!!!
