Can I ask what that button is? when you push the brakes does that button get pushed? or is it the other way around?

So if I put somthiing in between the yellow and blue thing will it help activate my brakes faster?

I'm trying to see if thats the culpruit for my brake light problem!!!!!

Edit: actually reading post #30 I think its the other way around... when you push on the brakes it doesnt push on that yellow button anymore... meaning once that button is released the brake lights come on.

Am I right? Can you confirm this CaymanDive?

Yes, when you push in the brakes it releases the button. When you release the brakes it pushes the button in.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll check into it now that I know what that button does and see if it can be adjusted to make the brake lights light up earlier into the pedal travel.

Heres how I do it and it works 100% of the time:

1. Start the car up and keep holding the foot brake.
2. While still holding the foot brake, press the e-brake until it lights up on the dash BRAKE. Let go until it does not show the BRAKE no more, do it twice and on the second time, hold it.
3. While still holding the e-brake, let go of the foot brake. Press the foot brake, let it go and then press it again and hold it.
4. Repeat Step 2.
5. Repeat Step 3 and the car with squiggly lines should light up. If not, repeat Steps 2 and 3.

Haha I think thats a funny symbol... its like Woooo you better watch you... you're going to lose control...

I can get it 100% of the time too as long as I wait for the system start-up check to finish.

That switch is what is called a double throw normally closed switch. In other words it makes connections when it's not pressed. It is adjustable for height. In fact if you cycle it too fast, the ECU won't register it as a pulse as I found out. There must be a slow debouncing circuit buffering the ECU.

Yeah that makes sense. BTW...what do you do for a living? Are you a mechanical engineer?

When I do the dance for “DYNO” mode I get the regular TRAC OFF light on my dash. The same one if I would of pushed the trac off button. I don’t see any squiggly lines mentioned by IS350S... Anyone else or am I doing something wrong.

Payam

It's the same light as if you pressed the TRAC off button.

Makes sence cause the burnout I did after was smoking. Seemed faster than 50km. Thanks.

I have a degree in Computer Science with a minor in aerospace engineering so my vast Electrical Engineering experience allows me to short things out at gigahertz speed. So it only guarantees that the circuit works on paper.
