Traction Control activating in track mode

I have HRI tune via Ecutek that was on the car when I bought it. I haven't had it long and I'm still a bit of a n00b regarding software tuning. Recently the traction control has been activating when I make the 1-2 shift (in track mode). It doesn't seem to activate any other time, but I haven't been able to take it out and run it through ALL the paces.

Can I reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery? Will that keep the tune intact?

Any other troubleshooting ideas?

Tuning only alters the engine ecu. Tuning does not alter the vsc or trac control systems.


In trac mode the vsc\traction system is srill active but just less agressive in its intervention.


Press and hold it for 5 seconds to turn it off
