Crosstrek Drift Mode! How to Turn Traction Control Off - OEM VDC Fuse Switch

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 9 чер 2020
  • This mod will make your traction control button function as a switch for the VDC fuse. The original TC button just allows wheel spins at low speeds to get unstuck. When the VDC fuse is removed you can get sideways and drift without the rear brakes straightening you out. The system is set up where if one component is missing the whole system shuts down, that is why when the fuse is removed you will not have ABS or Hill-start assist.

    I just bought a 20 Impreza and have been looking for a way to disable the stability control. Thank you for the informative video. My only question is if the shifter won’t come out of park do the brake lights still work properly?

    Good job. Can we add another button for this mod? Oem tc off and modded vdc off. Two options would be better

    • @KurtofTrades
      @KurtofTrades  Рік тому +1

      Yes you can. When you do this mod it doesn’t affect the regular button. You would need a second button and somewhere to mount it is all.

      Yes! Different button, almost everything is identical with the procedure though. I think I list both part numbers in the description. If not let me know and I’ll find it

      They are for dealers to add foglights at the dealership. My car already has foglights with a switch on the turn signal stalk so I don’t need them.
      If your car doesn’t have fog lights you can use it to add them

    Will this work on a 2015 impreza without causing any damage to the car? Also, when the fuse is back in will all the lights go back off?

    • @KurtofTrades
      @KurtofTrades  11 місяців тому

      I haven’t had any issues, I’ve heard if you do a lot of drifting without stopping it can heat up the cvt but haven’t experienced it myself. The lights will only go off when you restart the vehicle.

    So, can you flip back and forth at will, or do you need to restart the car to turn TC and VDC back on?

    • @KurtofTrades
      @KurtofTrades  3 роки тому +2

      You have to restart the car for the lights on the dash to go away. Not sure if it’s just to reset the lights or to get the vdc and tc to work again I’ll test it this winter

      Not sure if it disables the EBD or not, I didn't do anything specifically for the EBD but I suppose it could be changed with disabling ABS, not sure though.
      It is most likely the same on the Forester or very similar, I will try and look into it. Thanks for the question!

      This is for 12-16 Imprezas and 13-17 crosstrek. It works for the second gen too but I think the fog light switch is a different part numberz
