Does anybody know how to shut off the traction control ? I know you can turn off the VDC but I want to be able to turn off the traction control.It would be nice to be able to do some good smokey burnouts.
It would be great to have a power programer to shut that kind of stuff off.I may see if there is a fuse I can pull.

Although there is no easy way yet to disable the ABLS you can unplug the connectors going to each rear wheel. If you follow the wire that comes out of the back of the wheel hub you'll see that it leads to a plug-in. Just unplug the left and right sides and do all the smokey burn-outs you want. Your VDC, brake, and slip lights will come on after you unplug both connectors but they will go out after you plug them back in and drive the vehicle.
And yes I tried it, seemed a little bit of a waste after I did it. Yes it burnt the heck out of the tires but I didn't have anyone around to take pictures....bummer...make sure to take a buddy with you and a camera then post them here..

So how do you turn off the VDC? Does the 04 XE has it?

If you have it, there should be a button below the stereo next to the big tow button.

Outstanding, I guess I don't have it. That explains the spinoff I did the other day when I made a U turn
