All,
Have an interesting one here. My 2005 has exactly the same ABS module (MK25E) as the 2006, which has Traction Control. As I want to be able to make use of Brake Lock TC functions whilst offroading, I did a meticulous comparison between wiring diagrams of the 05 and the 06, and the only difference I could pick up is that the 06 has the dynamic sensors (yaw/lateral located under the center console next to handbrake lever mechanism).
Therefore I set out to determine whether the TC can be activated on my 05 by using the ESP On/Off pin on the ABS module (unused on the 05).
Result? I connected the ESP On PIN on the ABS and it appears as though the dynamic sensors need to be "online" for any of the TC functions to work.
My next question would be to buy a 2nd hand dynamic sensor and wire it up, but wanted to reach out to anyone that may have gone down this road.
Any ideas?
Perhaps on fooling the ABS to think that the dynamic sensor's inputs are "normal". Bottom line - I only want the brake lock function for wheel spin on axle twisters - without having to buy a diff lock.
