Ok its pretty obvious how to shut traction control off, as well as stabilitrak. Is there any way to keep it there? I drive through lots of snow and a lot of the time a good spin helps me get to or out of where I need to be. It seems though even with everything shut off something is happening traction wise with a good spin. It doesn't sound good either, a bunch of clicking and what not behind the dash. Is that the brakes being applied maybe with the stabilitrak re-activating on its own? It would be nice to control the spin myself and not the computer. I was in auto when I noticed this, maybe this won't happen in 4x4?

An one push of traction control switch disables engine traction control but brake traction and stabilitrak are still on, press and hold for 10 secs disables traction control and stabilitrak.  Stabilitrak turns back on for speeds above 35 mph.  This is the case for all 4wd modes except 4low.  

 

The cycling noise you here is the ABS module building and/or dumping pressures to the needed brake corner for stability or traction control.

Even with the system completely off, driveline protection is still active so you will have some brake invention if side to side or front to rear wheels are not spinning together.

After holding the button for 10sec is there any indication of it being disabled?

 

A light or a chime?

Seen plenty of videos of guys wiring a switch to the fuse panel to switch off the ABS to deactivate stabiltrak when needed. All of these trucks are previous generations. Any one know what fuse would work or have tried this on the T1?

I am curious as well. It used to be fuse #3 abs pump fuse on my 2014 and my 2016 2500. I just ordered a new 2021 At4 and will be looking to disable it on that truck too.

Hi guys 

any update about disabling stability control and not engaging again at 35??

 I searched a lot between time to time to check if there any solution, there no fuse for the traction or abs, the fuse controls the entire brake system, fuse number 24(EBCM) electronic brake control module, I removed it and the brake was soo weak, tried once to unplug the sensor on the hub while I was off-roading, the traction, stability, abs… dash indicater came on, i think the traction control system went off, but the issue was I couldn’t drive because the 4 x 4 was disengaging, high, low & auto, selecting a mode again and after throttle 2-3 seconds the rear tires spins and the 4 x 4 disengage again, so I plugged it back again, didn’t try it on road for donuts😅, that was a try to see if this method works so I can make a switch, but it didn’t 😔. I had 2011 and was so happy with it, on road off road, but this model took from me the fun I used to do.

thanks guys 

hope someone will find away to do it

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
