CadiKing Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 SeaBass, I think you will find references to pulling the fuse...however, I think it will start in second gear anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac STS Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 It will start in first If you pull the fuse located in the rear. I believe the fuse will be labeled as 'ABS' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprucegoose Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 You can also temporarily disable the Trac Control on our OBD1 cars thru the PCM overide feature. It's been a while, haven't done it since I ran the Goose at the strip. I just looked it up on another forum and found it... At least on my 94' STS it works that way: 1. Turn the ignition key on 2. Press and hold "A/C OFF" and "Wormer" button for 3 sec 3. Wait and look, you may get some interesting info about codes stored 3. Press "HI" when it displays "PCM?" 4. Press "Low" until you get "PCM OVERRIDE?" 5. Press "HI" 6. Press "Low" to get PS24 on a display (that is the last overridable code, so it just faster to get it presing "Low"), or press "HI" untill you get PS24. 7. "...When PS24 is selected, the display will alternate between '--' for one second and the current state of traction controldisable override ('99' for override active and '00' for override not active). Pressing the WARMER button will disable traction control for the next 11 ignition cycles and display '99'. Pressing the COOLER button will allow normal program control of traction control and display '00'." 8. Turn ignition off. Transaction control will be disabled just for 11 ignition cycles, and it will back then. '09 Cadillac CTS-4 3.6 direct injection, 128 K mi.

Cadillac Jim Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 There's a button in the glove compartment that you push to disable the traction control. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

rockfangd Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I tend to think the button came in 95, but it resets when you restart the car anyhow GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboi07 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I tend to think the button came in 95, but it resets when you restart the car anyhow Nope, no button for me. And from what ive heard the button style traction control disabler only allows 2nd gear starts, where as pcm override 24 lets you retain your first gear.
