how to turn off traction control?

[Dimitris550]

It has been years since I've gone to the track from back in the day of the LS1 F Body's. I plan on going this Friday to try it out. I have a 2017 Mustang GT with a built auto swapped 6r80 2200 stall switched from the mt82 for best track times and twin turbos with e-boost controller. On the lowest setting it does 700 whp. I'm running a 305 et street on a 17 inch wheel for the rear and stock 19 radials on the front. 3:55 rear gears because it was a factory manual car. On the street when boost hits it spins and kills power but says advance track off , I heard it's not truly off though how do you do that? How much air for the rear tires, long burn out or short 10 seconds?

Any pointers ?advice. Seeing guys go low 9's with the same setup, I also have a two step but I like to foot brake it.

Unplug the connector under your hood right beside where the factory airbox was located. This will turn off the traction control and the stability control. If you only turn off the traction control in the car via the button on the console, it will still have the advance trac active and will engage your rear brakes during excessive wheelspin when doing a burnout or spinning on the street without you even applying the brakes. You will have a traction control light and stability control ligh on your dash while its unplugged. I leave mine unplugged all the time, but whenyou plug it back in, lights will go back out and you dont have to clear codes or reset anything. Here are pics, the first is with the plug connected. Second is what the plug looks like disconnected. And third is what youll see on your das. Hope that helps man!

Can you still use the factory line lock with this unplugged?

Lift the little tab , so it clears the little barb. Fine flat screwdriver will help.
Check first pics in thread.
