Can you Disable Traction Control on 03-05 V6 Models
I did some 4bying today and noticed that when I lost traction the brake pedal would automatically pulsate trying to stop the spinning tire from spinning (Normal). I know I have seen the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel on later models mabye V8s only. Mine doesn't have that. All I have the is center diff lock WHICH when activated deactivates traction control but I dont want to keep that engaged at all times. Is there a way to disable TC by itself on the V6?

Thanks!

Yes, you will need to internally shut it off in the computer

Or another easy way is to have someone hookup an OBD to it. I do not know the exact procedure for this, I just know that certain OBD scanners i beleive removes the 4Runner "0" setting for VSC. Thus keeping it off. I just got an alignment and they hooked up an OBD so right now VSC is off.

Before u spend your $ on a bypass which is not needed. Take it to an autoshop and have them turn your VSC, trac off. There are many things you can to to 4runners without buying unnecessary parts and hasseling with new wiring and such. This ones is (Almost as good of a scam as the 70$ engine chip lol).
