I've tried the pedal dance with little relief but I'm leaning more and more to using it - I need more experimenting (I've had the car less than 2 months). The less the system second guesses my actions the better. |

I don't think anyone who has ridden with me or watched my driving would say I push the tires too hard with my trail braking. I realize my driving may need to change to keep whatever random ECU parameters cause this to stay within a normal range but it's hard to get more basic than a straight line braking maneuver. Do I need to worry about going over the side of a canyon? |

I don't left foot... and I have never experienced the "Ice Mode" in my car... But Mike found it right away... it has something to do with the EBD on the car. If you brake and try to use the throttle at the same time, its seems to enhance 'ice mode' more prominently... The Brake logic that is implemented in this car along with the Traction control system doesn't like to have both the gas and brake pushed at the same time... and As Sam said, its very driver dependent. My normal co-driver hasn't experienced it either..and we have about 150 plus runs on the car..

I have a theory: what happened to me a week ago may have combined the panic brake feature along with ice mode.
When you trip the panic brake, the car decides the brake pressure for you - modulating doesn't have any effect. Then the other nannies (EBD, likely VSC, ABS) work at a layer underneath that - in other words, they aren't aware of whether the human is controlling the brake or the computer is controlling the brake, they simply respond to the conditions their sensors report. (As an embedded software engineer, this is more or less how I would implement the system. They're probably using an ABS controller from an older model without a panic brake feature and trying to integrate all the systems seamlessly for this one model is too much time/money.) So if you're in panic brake mode and the ABS then trips ice mode, how do you handle this? Well, you are (apparently) in very real danger of hitting something and (apparently) there's not enough grip to stop the car. My thinking is that the system locks the brake pedal - if you're on ice trying to not hit something and you lock your wheels, you start running out of options very fast. What happened to me was a LOCKED brake pedal and zero deceleration beyond engine braking. I can go out to my car, empty the reserve vacuum from the booster until the pedal is firm, but it will still have some give. Last week I tried to power through it and the pedal literally wouldn't budge. I'm not lacking for leg strength either. I can live with "normal" ice mode. I can't live with this. The pedal dance disables panic brake so I'll be doing that from now on and we'll see if it happens again. |

Im asking this cause im having issues with an ABS sensor and the abs light is on which in-turn activates limp mode. Do u think if i just pull the fuse the ecu will forget abt the broken sensor and if i clear the fault codes my car will get out of limp mode?? I need a solution cause my local toyota and Subaru dealer both need over a month to get the new sensor.? and im stuck in limp mode now |

I've had my green fuse out for a month now.. I don't believe I have experienced any limp mode. My ABS is off and my traction control and VSC is disabled.
(And for some reason my e-brake light is always on.)

Pulling the ABS fuse or adding a "blown" fuse is not legal for stock or the new street class. I minimize ice mode by changing my line into a corner requiring hard braking by entering wider and braking more in a straight line to limit rear wheel lift, which can increase the chance of ice mode. I have also read someone had less ice mode with more aggressive front pads vs rear pads to get more braking on the front wheels. Trail braking and ABS are not a good combo...

Had a tC that would lift a rear wheel trail braking which would put it in to "ice mode". I was able to dial out most of it by putting aggressive pads up front and leaving the stock pads on the rear. |

And your car was able to brake better even with the heavier front brake bias? What brand pads do you use up front> I was looking to get Carbotech AX6 pads

I used the Hawk HP+ on the front. For autox I bet just about any pad that works well at low to medium temps and has good initial bite would be fine. |

and the e-brake light on the time means the active 'diff' is on where the brakes are applied to the spinning wheel to try and give some LSD action |
