Traction control

[RamRebelSteel]

Sometimes when I turn off my traction control and I know I'm going to be getting sideways the tires spin a bit and sometimes the traction control automatically comes back on and doesn't allow the tires to spin freely. What gives?

It's always on, just not as strong. To completely disable it you have to be in 4low.

But it literally turns it back on ?? It says so on the cluster. My gmc had a feature called disable stabilitrack. Nothing on the ram like this?

So there is a redundant system with Ram, you have Traction control and Stability control. In the owners manual they have almost identical descriptions and Stability control cannot be disabled unless you are in 4low and hold down the traction control button for 10sec.

Super lame, but you can still do a burnout no problem... my 16' Rebel ate Toyo's for breakfast!

I was at a stop and gassed it and made fast turn at an abandoned golf course and it turned on. It made me sad lmao

I think stability control is more aggressive on the 19'. My 16' would melt the tires if I wanted to. Traction control off and the stability control light will still flash. As stated previously... super lame FCA.

It is seriously frustrating that they have a traction control button yet turning it off hardly makes a difference at all. I hate that the most about the new trucks

This is where I miss my 16' sierra rcsb lol

There has to be a way to disable in modes other than 4 low...I drive through some deep snow on lakes ice fishing, and with traction control kicking in makes it real tough to dig through the deep stuff sometimes. Anyone found anything else out on this yet?

Same as Lxvsocal, I had a 14 Silverado and you could just hold down the traction control button for about 10sec and it would turn all the systems off.

If you pull fuse f26 it completely disables traction control. You lose abs as well. I pull it when my son wants to go play in the snow.

I played around last night with mine again. When I tried before, I was in 2wd. Last night, I found that if it was in 4 low, 4 high, or auto 4, and you hold the traction control button down for about 5-10sec, it will come up and say stability control off on the dash.

Good to know. I haven't tried in 4 wheel drive yet. I still don't understand why it can't be turned off completely with the switch.

+1 Point for you my friend. I shall try this next time at the trails.

Does it turn back on if you shift out of 4x4?

Yes.

I have tried to turn off stability controls on my rebel. Pressing and holding the traction control button does nothing.

Pretty ridiculous you have to pull a fuse to turn it off.

Hey do u pull f26 from the fuse box in the engine bay or the fuse box in the cab? And what color/amp fuse is it? Cuz I just checked out my owners manual and f26 is an ESP module. Not sure what that is but doesn't seem like it's for traction control lol

That's the exact fuse you need. From under the hood. I'm not exactly sure what Esp stands for but that's the one.

Are there any side effects? I saw somewhere that the speedo wont work

I still think that this is BS and we should be able to do what we want with our vehicles. Borderline, misleading with the idea we can "turn it off". more like retard it, not disable.
