In order to avoid loading multiple threads into the Documentation and Reference Thread, I wanted to assemble all the different ABS threads into one that we could load in there, so here goes:

A couple guys mention disabling VSC withouth disabling ABS or TRAC, If anyone has a write-up for that, post it and I will add it. Same for any other methods of disabling any of these, post them here and I will add them.

Just got done with this mod yesterday, i love it! I was so disappointed the first time i went out to "play" and figured out there would be no fun to be had with the 4runners nanny mode. Only took about 35 mins to complete!

Has there been any update to this? Has anyone found a way to disable just the VSC alone on the 01-02?
 
Nelsonmd - Thanks for consolidating these links... My ABS was f'ing with me just yesterday & I can't wait to disable it.

I read the first two links - it didn't look like anyone was able to get the Yellow-Blue wire mod to work...? Dylan's writeup (second link) looked like the best option for 2000 and earlier 4R's.
 
You can also just remove the ABS fuse if you are not good at doing wiring. But then it's always off, I was having a problem with my VSC/Trac coming on randomly, I think I have a wheel sensor going out on one of the wheels.

Just remember that ABS fuse is bolted into the box and a bit trickey to remove. The dash lights are kind of annoying but I think i'm just going to pull the LEDs when i wire in my ARB compressor/locker.

ABS on these trucks is pitiful.
 
Beeping truck..

So I'm new to the forum. I'm on my third t4r. A 1990 .. A '97 limited and now a 2002 badlands. The 02 seems to have more fancy computerized gadgetry than I used to...
I was out on some logging roads on the weekend (2002) and if I was a little too fast though washboard washouts the truck would beep at me.... Beepbeepbeep....annoying as ...... What system was doing this and how do I turn it off... Or should I leave the system on and disable the beep? The truck handled great.... Any ideas or comments from those of you that have been playing with this longer than I would be appreciated

Do you have to put a switch in? i live in AZ where there is no snow, so I really don't need it on ever. I just want to cut the wire.
 
What is the purpose of the VSC mod?

I recently purchased a 2004 4Runner SR5 V8. I created an account with T4R today and was reading thru the various posts. What is the benefit of this mod? Would anyone explain to this T4R noob what's up?

thanks,

chris

On 3rd gen 4runners you can turn off the traction control, which cuts all the power to the rear wheels, and it very annoying when you are trying to offroad. So you can over ride it by putting a switch in to turn it off and on.

somethin like that. someone else can feel free to correct me.

The switch only always you to turn it off. The only way to turn it back on is to turn your 4runner off.
 
Help me search. I Did the mod with the red wire with the black tracer and a 2 prong switch. It all shut off right but my ABS and brake light are on.

My rig is the 01 limited. Did I do the Andymod 2.0 right? I thought this way allowed me to keep the ABS. Sorry in advance if this has been covered but I did search some but not a lot

Thanks guys
