2012 F 150 ECO MPT tune
I push the traction control button and if the tires spin i loose throttle
the light is on on the dash telling me it's off When i get on it in the rain
the tire start to spin then the other light to the left tells me the wheels spun
and it take the throttle away .
I can't even do a burnout.
I even hold it down the button and turn off advance track

 

Nature of the Beast. "One wheel spin traction control" is always on.


Traction control system (TCS)


Traction control is a driver aid feature that helps your vehicle maintain


traction of the wheels, typically when driving on slippery and/or hilly


road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin.


Excessive wheel spin is controlled in two ways, which may work


separately or in tandem: engine traction control and brake traction


control. Engine traction control works to limit drive-wheel spin by


momentarily reducing engine power. Brake traction control works to limit


single wheel spin by momentarily applying the brakes to the wheel that


is slipping. Traction control is most active at low speeds.


During either engine or brake TCS events, the stability control light in


the instrument cluster will flash.


If the TCS is activated excessively in a short period of time, the braking


portion of the system may become temporarily disabled to allow the


brakes to cool down. In this situation, TCS will use only engine power


reduction or transfer to help control the wheels from over-spinning.


When the brakes have cooled down, the system will regain all features.


Anti-lock braking, RSC, and ESC are not affected by this condition and


will continue to function during the cool-down period.


The engine traction control and brake traction control system may be


deactivated in certain situations. But single wheel spin brake traction




control is always on.

 

I turned mine off the first time it rained after I bought my truck just to see what it felt like on wet pavement. I went totally sideways when I hammered the throttle going about 15-20mph so it definitely deactivates a lot of the traction control (enough for me).

 

Here's how to disable it completely...although not advisable unless you're at a track.
