Trac cntrl light supposed to blink when off?

Just wondering, traction control fully off. When i hold the trac button don for 3 seconds. The correct lights appear on the right hand side. But when i get spinning the light on the tach blinks. Is it supposed to do this? Or is trac control still engaging?

Still be active in the background unless you use the "Pedal Dance" or disconnect the ABS fuse (no ABS then).

Search forums for "Pedal Dance" and read up about it.

Contrary to what some on this forum believe: The 3 second press does NOT completely disable the TCS & Stability control

What? I'm pretty sure everyone agrees that it doesn't completely disable the traction and stability control, hence pedal dance.....

Search forums for "Pedal Dance" and read up about it.

If only the search button worked, search threads for "pedal dance" get 6+ pages of threads, none titled pedal dance. Lol

Even with traction off, electronic breaks force control & panic mode is still on.

I've never seen mine blink when it was turned off.

Are your tires the same size all around? I know differences in tires will make the vsc go nuts pretty easily.

link to pedal dance proceedure

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25494

my understanding is

each time car switched off\on trac\vsc is full on and pedal dance is reset to normal

push buttons (short push) puts car in sport mode where your alloed a bit more slip and slide before the nannies kick in.

long push turns off more nannies and allows considerable amounts of slip\slide but the trac lights will still flash to indicate slip\slide but the system does not intervene its just an indicator that slip is occurring.

However if the system detects your rearly out of control especially over about 60 mph it will still kick in even though its "off".

The pedal dance is actually some form of test\diagnostic mode but it turns off a lot more nannies and electronic diff function, but their is still a couple left on like ice mode even with pedal dance and it appears the trac\vsc is rearly off and will not kikck back in even if it detects severe loss of control
