any way to turn off traction control on the 09 lancer GTS?

 

I don't have one with TC, but there should be a way. Check your owner's manual. Is it any of the buttons to the left of the steering wheel under the A/C vent?

 

i thought the tc button was down by the cupholders on the models that have it. mine sure doesnt.

 

The TC comes with the Touring package.

 

What the... You've got TRACTION CONTROL ON YOUR 09???? This sucks I've got an 09 fully loaded last year - no such option for me to choose.

 

Seems only U.S. models have the TC...
and only ones with this "touring package"..
which is not a package available in canada....
way too bad.....sucks...and for some of us up here who could use it....

 

the touring package is really the only package i would have purchased if you didn't have to buy the other two first. touring package was only available to later 09 models and some dealerships didn't even know about it until recently so they wouldn't have told you about it. comes with:
-HID projector headlamps
-autosensing windshield wipers
-TCS

Only thing that bothers me about my CVT is that even though you are accelerating at a decent rate of speed, it doesn't feel like it because the CVT stays at a constant RPM value. Feels better in semi auto mode though since it simulates gears. They should have an option on the newer ones that has the same tranny style as the ralliart, of course it'd have to be 4wd though

 

hold on you guys get tc in the states? what the **** , canada gets the **** end a the stick everytime ,

 

gotta love canadian spec cars eh

 

well if u have a 09 gts with touring package like i do then there is a button left of the steering wheel that says ASC- Automatic Stability Control and that is pretty much the same as traction control i turn that off whenever i go sliding and stuff

 

Disabling the TC is possible but you need a scan tool that can tap into the powertrain and make switch changes to those subsystems. I did a light review of a scantool that can do this on my blog

+1 bump

 

Are you talking about turning it off indefinitely?? Don't know how to do that, but if you hold down the button for a few seconds it will turn off and show an indicator light on your dash.. But the car by default turns it on when the car starts...

 

then you would have a ralliart?

and there would be no point in buying a lancer like that
