So having read on some genesis forums about pulling a fuse to completly disable traction control on their cars, I thought I would see if we had any such ability on our cars. After some research and looking closely through the owners manual, I determined that pulling the 10A ABS3 fuse may disable traction control entirely. Just tried it, and it absolutely does. Problem is, it also disables the speedo, high beams, abs, and many other systems, and the dash lights up like a christmas tree. The car is perfectly drivable however, and boy does it drive. You can burnout as much as you want and it will never cut throttle. It will still shift gears when you hit about 6500 rpm, and if you floor it on a turn you can pretty easily lose traction and keep going sideways.
Car is modified some with a res delete, muffler delete, k and n filter, Veloster N intercooler, lightweight wheels, nst pulleys, throttle controller, and a blue spark piggyback, with hks plugs.
I have had serious traction issues, and was curious just how much power I was losing by the throttle cutting when the tires spin, and its quite a bit. The tires are often very quiet when they start spinning, so its hard to tell you are actually loosing grip. I am looking foward to getting some michelin piolt sport as4's, in hopes that will improve traction.
With all that being said, I would be very curious how this would improve times at the track. If definately gives you more control over the car, which means you can make bigger mistakes... so again, try this at your own risk.
Another side note, the power steering was strange with the fuse removed, it was super senseitive for quite a while, then it turned off altogether, and the red wheel light came on the dash. This made the car harder to steer, but not by much, only real hard when stopped, it also may have disabled sport mode, but my throttle controller helps negate the dead pedal feel... the car really felt like a throwback to how cars used to be, I quite enjoyed it.
Once the fuse was back in, the power steering light was still on and the car would not go into sport mode, it would say it was, but you could tell the idle speed did not raise. I was worried that I blew another fuse, or broke something, but after a few minutes of driving, the light went out and it returned to normal.
