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

      Part is $233.87.     Not sure where $900 came from?

      Looks like you have it figured out. Did you run a sensor into the rear diff housing?    What sort of diff temp swings would you see towing or not? I have wondered how hot it can get

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer just confirmed that GM is "out of AC compressors."  Not sure if all 2019 to 2026 trucks use the same compressor, but a shortage like that is hard to believe.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.
