Go put all your chit back together, go out and try this.
Transition to the service mode (TRAC and VSC OFF mode)
The TRAC and VSC systems can be turned off by following the procedures below:
When using the parking brake and brake pedal:
1) Check that the Ignition is off and the shift lever position is at P.
2) Start the engine after turning the Ignition to the ON position.
3) Perform the following steps 4 to 8 within 30 seconds after engine start:
4) Turn the parking brake switch on.
5) Depress and release the brake pedal twice.
6) Turn the parking brake switch on and off twice while depressing the brake pedal.
7) Depress and release the brake pedal twice while the parking brake switch is on.
Notice: Steps 6 and 7 should be performed within 15 seconds each.
8) Check that the VSC warning light and slip indicator are turned on.
If they are not turned on, start over from step 1.
9) The brake control system will return to the normal mode by turning the Ignition to the ON position from off

In the transmission section of the Factory Service Manual, there is the official process listed to enter "diagnostic mode" which disables TRAC/VSC. I suspect as it has been rewritten to share on these forums and the steps may be a little mixed, let me know if you have trouble and I'll look up the steps in the manual for you.
#6
This system will work if you are stick in snow and the car will not move because the system does not let the tire drift or move (it think that you are in normal road) or in sands ....etc or if you want to race some cars
#7
Yes sir you can shut off the nanny systems from the driver's seat of the car during startup... Let me know if you have any trouble with the process I provided... It should work but the sequence I copied from another source looks a little different than what I remember doing as I haven't disabled the systems in quite a few months.

Hey don’t feel had, I spent a lot of time on the GS forum helping a guy that wanted help with tire sizes and rim info, I did the best I could to help. He return with he knew more about it and answered his own questions then he went on and flamed me good. Why did I spend my time writing and helping these people. Your post is well done and helpful but maybe as time goes on there are other ways to do the same, it happens. Thanks for trying.

Interesting. I remember rocking a car back-and-forth in snow to get it unstuck.
Racing is interesting too because I have wondered whether NASCAR or the INDY Cars might start using VSC, that is, if it allows them to take the curves/corners faster.

FWIW - on my Honda product, there's a button on the dash... I can push it at anytime to disable/enable the nanny systems.
The VSC and TRAC system is really a neat feature on a car that is being driven in marginal conditions with other cars on public roads... It will help prevent you from hitting things you normally would not want to hit. It works very well.
However, you'll never find these systems on race cars etc... They do have on F1 cars a sort of a "launch control" that helps put the power down on the start. I haven't kept up recently, but there was a lot of debate as to whether it helped or hindered launches, some teams were doing real bad on the starts when launch control first came out... The reason skid control won't be added is because the system will effectively scrub speed to save the vehicle... Not necessarily the most desireable thing when races are won by 10ths of a second and drifting through corners is actually faster than slowing down.

Isn't there an easier way? Correct me if I am wrong but on my GS, pushing the VSC button temporarily disables the traction control system for an initial launch and then it reactivated by itself. If you hold down the VSC button until a second light turns on, it becomes disabled until you turn it back on. I haven't done any 4 wheel drifts or anything and only experimented with this but it seems to work.

The ES doesn't have a VSC button.
FWIW - I had a difficult time adjusting to Honda's VSA button (vehicle skid assist), I kept thinking all it would do is disable what is known in Toyotaland as VSC... Instead it also disables traction control (TRAC), which doesn't really exist in Honda terms.
Hopefully that made sense?

Onsknht – I apologize for writing poorly above. I know you’ve never been disrespectful. I just wanted to somehow share my “I got flamed” experience with the guy.
I had a chance to see the VAS and TRAC in action a few weeks ago when my right rear tire got into some water while taking off from the light, yes I punched it not knowing the water was there. The two lights VAS, TRAC were flashing very fast and the car maintained a striate line. It worked!! Glad the system was on.

this is the right way to disable VSC so do not use my way only for get more info about the car .....
so have good drift
