Anyway to disable traction control in drive-by-wire
So I have done an engine swap but my throttle won't go ast 27% and I am guessing it is due to the traction control. Obviosly I don't have traction control so I need to get around it.
What do you guys recommend?

You can try to unplug the skid control ECU and see if it solves your problem. If the truck isn't a Tundra (which is kind of what it sounds like) it shouldn't be a problem that it'll disable the ABS.
Big question, what is the motor in? What kind of truck are we talking about?

Haha, no skid control, no ABS.
I will either need to go buy a skid control ecu and use it to disable, or if it is possible have the dealer disable it. It seems that the skid control communicates through the OBD port, from the wiring it looks like that is the only possible way for communication. So there might be a way to permantly disable the skid control.
Re: Anyway to disable traction control in drive-by-wire
What are you using to measure the throttle position....something like a ScanGage?
I'll check mine tonight, but I don't think it'll open very much in park or neautral.

Just a Harbor Frieght scan tool.
So this is interesting, I hooked up the air injection and it made things work a little differently.
Now when I turn on the ignition, I can go WOT. But as soon as as start the engine 20%.
My codes are
P0037 - rear O2 - not hooked up yet
P0057 - rear 02 - not hooked up yet
P0230 - fuel pump control(resistor) - not hooked up yet
P0453 - evap - not hooked up yet
P0504 - stop switch - not hooked up
P0705 - transmission range sensor - not hooked up yet
P0748 - trans solenoid(mechanical transmission)
P0778 - trans solenoid(mech transmission)
P2716 - trans solenoid(mech transission)

Re: Anyway to disable traction control in drive-by-wire
That should be very cool!!!! I have a old 92 4Runner with the v6....I've always thought the v8 would be bad *** in there.......and you'll probably get 20 mpg!!!!

Glad you found the fix though!
My '05 will run right up to redline in park, so I dont think it has anything to do with being in gear, but if you got it fixed, It doesnt matter why! Looks like thats going to be a beast. I had to read the whole thread, very interesting.
