Holding the Trac OFF button for 3-5 sec will disable traction control 100%, and vehicle stability control about 98%, but leaves ABS active. If the car is under certain conditions (such as really aggressive track driving and trail braking over rumble strips) the CPU will still intervene a bit.
For you, holding the button for 5 sec to turn everything "off" should be sufficient. It's good enough to go drifting or hooning around in a street car.
The reason for you to do the pedal dance, is if the system continues to intervene when turned "off" by holding the button. In this case, the pedal dance will completely disable the system entirely (except ABS is left on). This will let you drive the car by itself to see if it's doing anything strange mechanically, or if the CPU is causing it.
If the CPU is indeed the problem, the next step is to determine if the CPU (or it's sensors) are actually bad, or if your mechanical setup is simply causing the CPU to intervene excessively.
