VSC - ANyone know anythign about it?

[Inane]

Anyone know how I can either disable the VSC (temporarily) or better yet install a switch to turn it off and on?

(I've got a GTT Caldina)

[Mr Revhead]

i think the abs fuse is also used for the vsc, pull it out and see, it disables eithe vsc or traction control maybe both. but remember you wont have any abs!

[Inane]

I considered that, but is that going to stop the Traction control?
or make it less effective?

because the traction control also lowers the power delivered to the wheels, and changes gear etc.

[Mr Revhead]

try it and see. my mate does it in his one, but i cant remember what he said it disables aswell

[Inane]

itd be sweet if you can ask him, my guess is that it disables the tip-tronic transmission as well...

[Mr Revhead]

ok he what he does is unplug the abs module under the bonnet.
that disables abs, vcs and traction control but keeps tiptronic.
have fun, but watch it, it apparnatly makes a difference, and caldinas take up a bit of room going sideways...

[Inane]

Thanks heaps for that...


I just wish I had done that before I put it on the dyno

[Mr Revhead]

apparantly theres another module under the dash, but he hasnt treid that one yet...

it having vsc shouldnt affect ya dyno runs i wouldnt think...

[Inane]

it does on a hub dyno, the traction control goes nuts, and the abs fires off all the way through

[Mr Revhead]

really? hmm interesting. wonder why
maybe it winds up to fast confusing it? it was a 4wd one right?

[Inane]

yep, all 4 wheels up on the dyno
