My 99GT has traction control, i think it started in 1999

I've had my '01 for almost three years now, and
just recently discovered that you can turn the
ABS on/off thru the radio.

It has saved my ass several times when driving carelessly on dirt roads or when the 1st snow in the winter falls.

You drive on dirt roads?

I can't figure out why anyone would disable the
ABS system.

????? Please give some details on this. I have never heard about being to turn off the ABS through your stereo?.

Thanks

While traction control is great for rain, it IS NOT good at all for snow. If you have it on in the snow YOU WILL get stuck, take it off of TC and the lowest gear you should ever be in is 2nd.
Oh and by the way I notice my gas mileage goes up when I have the traction control on.... and my tires last longer... go figure Most of the aftermarket chips you can get will turn TC off when you start up then turn it on when you press off

read your manual... it tells you how to turn abs off... dont know why you would want to do that but it shows you... as for traction control... its an option from the factory... you can either have it for sum extra $$$ or not... started in 99... if you dont want it on by default you can either pull a fuse (which also permenantly shuts of ABS) or you can get the diablosport predator and kill two birds with one stone...no traction control... and better tune... try that!

My mistake!, It is actually "RDS" or (radio data system feature)
and not "ABS". It looked like ABS to me and also someone told me
it turned the abs on/off, but they were wrong and I was mistaken also.
The Feature RDS actually recieves text information from FM based radio
stations.
