fj cruiser wheel spin

williewest · 10-24-09, 09:24 PM

I have had my FJ for 3 years now I like it. Adding a
magnaflow exhaust and K&N cold air intake this week. The thing I don't like is the P/C dropping my rpm's when a wheel spins.

The dealer told me that is the VSC working. I hate it if it is raining and I gas it the rpm's drop to idle. I hear loud clicking noises from underneath it. Is this how it works on your rigs. Is there any way to turn off the VSC system in 2 wheel drive. 4 WD is fine.

THANX any reply appreciated.

Have a 73 FJ40 for 25 years. Lifted, 350, auto, locked rear.

There is a thread about VSC hack it might be in the blue room.

Yes, that is standard. VSC is disabled in 4x4 low, I thought. Maybe 4x4 high as well.

the clicking could also be the atrac working. Did you disable atrac?

no I have not disabled the atrac. will this solve the issue? Can I buy the switch and put it in the dash? I do not like how it works. Gassed it in the rain to pull out into traffic and the rpm's drop to idle almost got hit.

U need to check on the blue room about disabling the VSC....... ATRAC is used in 4wd. Im doubting u were in 4wd to pull out on a wet street.

No it is only in 2 wheel when it does. I hate putting it in 4 wheel cause of some rain or a little snow. How do you have fun in the snow spinning around doing donuts.

I have an MT6 and I've never had problems having fun with 4 wheels spinning. Just have to disable VSC.
