Odd. I thought that the only difference was the VSC logic.

I wonder if that’s coded in the ABS module or somewhere else. If it’s in the abs module this could be a sweet upgrade.

IIRC there was separate VSC ecu, no? But yes, if anything to retrofit from MY2017, "track mode" is highest in my wishlist, as vsc sport is one i drive car at most during all the time of DD and even on track, if it's one i've visiting first time & it's rainy wet.

It looks to be one module. @solidsnake11 you appear to have found a Track mode retrofit! Would you mind creating a DIY for the community’s benefit?

Props for deciphering the wiring diagram, my eyes started glazing over past page 25.

solidsnake11: "all in one" - including abs & hillclimb assist? There was no separate control module for ABS? And i wonder if having restyle dash changes things. Anyway, would appreciate, if you would actually road-test "track mode" now on yours on some parking lot or gravel road , if it actually now works as on kouki, as in - at higher slip angles & in less abrupt/intrusive way, not just if it iluminates as switched on on dash.

This is promising. Suggests the VSC logic is actually changed.

[churchx]

Well, however it is, looks promising to what i'd wish to get.
Hopefully someone will follow your footsteps and make DIY guide for less tech savvy ones on retrofitting MY2017's track mode. What needs switched (maybe even with PN), what-how needs repinned, if it will work w/o MY2017 dash, if road-test shows track mode functioning as on other Kouki twins.

Just ordered a 17 ABS module off eBay.
I’ll report back with my findings with my stock 13 cluster. I don’t care about hill start, but it’s a good way of ensuring the module works as intended.

^^ How much was the module roughly?

Following, 2017+ track mode would be a nice upgrade for a relatively easy mod.

Neat! How does the cover come off the circuit board side? I tried prying a bit but it’s stubborn and I didn’t want to break it in case there’s a hidden tab lock.

[Yoshoobaroo]

Which way does the lock slide? Do you push all 4 tabs at the same time? Also my connector has no pin 9, that slot is labeled ‘CLSE’

[Yoshoobaroo]

I just installed the 2017 MT module in my 2013 MT BRZ.
I figured out the lock, it slides to the side where the wiring comes out of the connector, backshell comes off by prying 2 tabs on the backshell itself.
I used the same repin pattern as @solidsnake11, pink from 27 to 9, white from 32 to 8.

Upon startup, no codes but the ABS light was on for about a mile. After that everything appears normal. No hill start, VSC sport mode activates like normal (immediately upon pressing). If this is what track mode feels like it’s a very subtle difference, at least on the street. I couldn’t get crazy on the backroads but the limit feels similar as before. Maybe the difference will show at autocross. Keep in mind I haven’t driven a 2017+ to compare.
