Prado traction control

[Rob S]

Hi,

was on absolute newbie drive this week and both I and another Prado driver faced traction control activating even though disabled by the button on the dash. Any advice for us how to fully disable from other Prado owners? Both of ours see 2015 models.

tagging few Prado owners to see if they have faced issues with this.

You have to keep pressing the “traction control” button for a few seconds - it will then completely disable all.

Dash showed traction control was off. Maybe it was stability control or abs cutting in?

As Kalahari probably means:

Pushing it once disables traction, but if you keep it pushed for a couple seconds more, than TRC OFF will also light up.

As advised already, you need to keep the button pressed for several seconds. Two off lights should appear on the dash. However, ABS will be still on (which is fine for me).

Thanks!

Thanks everyone, tried this morning and is slightly different than the video so thought worth documenting for others if relevant.

press once, “TRC off” lights up.

press and hold:

“TRC off” light is displayed almost instantly

” ‘image of  skidding car’ and ‘off’ “ then appears after 3-5 seconds

I’ll try this on the next drive and report back!

Hi, 

You need to press the traction control button for a few seconds then 2 lights will come on.

But there is some thing that does kicks not sure shat that is. I have also experienced the same. 

But the above will really make a difference

Just following up on this! With both lights lit up after long hold I had Zero problems!
