yes they are, here let me break it down for the remedial types.
Instructions on the first line...
"Button pressed and held for more than 5 seconds at speeds under 35 mph"
This disables TC. The statement means you cant be going over 35mph and disable the TC
The TC does not automatically enable at speeds over 35 mph unless you press the button (line 2)
something tells me this will still be too complicated to comprehend for the simpletons

TCS is disabled, but ESC and RSC aren't.

Break lose, and throttle will be retarded. For many that don't like the features, it is still not acceptable.

Don't ignore the footnotes. "#1: Traction control system could be enabled but with higher entry thresholds compared to full system. Electronic stability control entry thresholds are higher compared to full system."

yes, as I alluded to in post #4 referencing the lack of four wheel drift. The seat of the pants feeling is ESC and RSC are never disabled even though the chart states they should be.
ABS and TCS are easy, pull the fuse but ESC and RSC is where we need to focus attention regarding forscan module and address changes. jdunk we need ya man :thumbup:

Lol there are some modules that I don't mess with...abs is one of them 😉.

We need livinitup to just use his special software to figure it out.

I was searching thru the service manual for stability\roll control stuff and found stability control sensors are in the RCM.
so if we can mount the RCM in a gimbal we should be good to go without needing forscan :party:

I can't even tell what you think is going on, anymore. You come here, you call people names (even when agreeing with them), you know nothing about your truck, you refuse to learn anything. Are you 17?

Too much bickering, I don't care what the chart says. In my experience with my 2014 after disabling traction control and advance trac, it re-engages around 30 mph. That means if I mash it in loose stuff and the rear wheel speed increase, the nanny's kick in, every time. I hate it.


UNLESS.......

​​​I put it in manual shift mode, then disable tc/adance trac. At that point I'm free to have all the sideways fun and wheel spin I want. Readings directions are over rated, start pushing buttons and switches to find out how it works.

Performed a quick search thru jdunk's spreadsheet but couldn't find anything relating to disabling thru forscan (yet)

just curious, when you say it is pulling power from the motor, does it feel like it is cutting out on you so you cant spin the tires?
