Carista now has a ABS/VSC/TRAC inspection service tool. what it does is turn off your traction control, until you either turn the truck off or turn it off via the tool.

Way cool feature, makes driving a lot more fun too

Please don't drive on public roads with these systems turned off, unless it's snowing.

Thank you,

You can turn VSC and Trac off just by holding down the trac button anyway. Why would you want to turn off your ABS?

yeah you can, but it also comes back on at 30 mph. its just a throw back to old school driving. like when it was fun

Traction Control (TC) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) can be disabled by holding down the Trac Button for 10 seconds while at a complete stop. On my 4Runner it does not come back on until you press the button again or restart the vehicle.

If you just hit the button while the vehicle is moving, then you only disable traction control, and it will come back on.

You’re kinda losing me here. I can see having a high performance sports car and taking it to a track, shutting off the electronic nannies and having some fun on a dedicated track. With a vehicle like a 4runner, on public roads, I’m not sure what you’re trying to accomplish. You’re certainly not going to be able to drift around a turn with a 4runner. And you’re not gonna be able to do a burnout smoke show with a 4runner. What you’re doing is a recipe for a “fun” rollover with your top heavy vehicle. And how were cars more fun before ABS? Unless longer, uncontrolled panic stops and crashing into shit is your idea of fun. Turning off the nannies off road is a different story but I don’t see it as a smart move on the road in a vehicle like this.

If the soccer mom station wagon that the 4runner is had a 5speed and a clutch I would argue with you.

Pretty cool for offroad. I have the Carista dongle but I didn't pay for the subscription.

If you actually KNOW how to drive you should be able to safely drive your vehicle on public streets without any of the nanny stuff.

My same-aged friend bought an 80ish Toyota pickup a few years ago and said “it feels like you’re driving a REAL vehicle” - if you don’t know that feeling, you’re a Millennial.

You can get a free one week subscription to the Carista app, available on i-Tunes. Mod your fob and then decline the yearly subscription. I did this with no problems, many good changes can be made.

THANK YOU!!! someone gets it!! before all of this ABS crap and VSC crap, driving was fun! you could control spins, don't matter what kind of car either. driving in dirt was a real lot of fun.

I get people need ABS and traction control to feel safe, but its so much more fun without it. I remember people doing mods to their trucks out here to turn this very same thing off. here I thought people would be glad to have an easy way to turn it off.

you never drove anything without it. and who ever said public roads? remember there was a time when 4runners didn't have all of this stuff.

unless you ever drove like this, you would not get it. and I would not suggest trying it now if you need all that stuff to drive
