i have a 06 gs300awd and the traction control is driving me crazy in the snow! i cant drift the car or anything! as soon as the tires start slipping it cuts power and takes all the fun of snow driving away but i think it makes the car very unpredictable in the snow if you do start to slide. does anyone know a way to disable this or maybe a way to wire in a switch for it? thanks in advance!!

I know this works on the rwd not sure about the awd!!! Disable VSC/TRAC

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Make sure the car is in Park and the parking brake is disengaged before you start the car.
2. Start the engine.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release.
5. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release.
6. Disengage the parking brake.
7. Fully depress and hold down the brake pedal.
8. Engage the parking brake, the disengage it (while holding down the brake pedal).
9. Engage the parking brake, the disengage it (while holding down the brake pedal).
10. Release the brake pedal.
11. Engage the parking brake.
12. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release.
13. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release.

* When the "Check VSC" icon is displayed in the multifunction display along with the "Trac-off" icon indicator, you'll know that you have successfully complete the procedure! Your car is transformed!

*** One the car is started you have 30 seconds to complete the process. With practice, the procedure can be completed in app. 15 seconds, unfortunately, must be repeated each time the car is switched off (all systems are returned back to normal).

thanks for the list! looks like a pita! no one has figured out how to wire a switch to control it?

i don't think it's something a simple switch can do. the need for all those sequence means it's the way to trigger an override in the system.

in the 07+, they modified it and now it's press and hold of a button

yeah so im wondering what it will take to mod my 06 the same way. theres got to be a way to do it or maybe a fuse to pull to disable it permanently?
