Is it possible to completely turn off the traction in the hybrid 2007 gs450h?

i tried the break trick and it didn't work out, tried holding the button for 10 seconds, also nothing happened, as soon as the car start sliding the traction kicks in.

any suggestions?

Interesting! I guess pre 08 models are different cause I press my VSC button for 5 seconds and the traction goes completely off!

What's the "brake trick"?

It works for all 06 cars, i'm sure 07 too if he's having the TCS off problem:

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, then disengage it (while holding down the brake pedal).
9. Engage the parking brake, then 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 "Check VSC" is displayed in the multifunction display along with the "Trac-off" icon indicator, you'll know that you have successfully completed the procedure.

yes i tried the trick several times, with the engine running and with the engine idle( started it without pressing the brake), and also i tried to hold the trac button for 10 seconds, it kicks in when i start to slide.

There's no way to turn it off, same year and model of your car.
