Traction Control off (really off)

#1 Start your car
#2 Press the traction control button for a few second until the orange light apears on the cluster.
#3 Shift it from P to manual mode, NOT D.
#4 Test Drive
Make sure you don't miss any of these step.
I think putting it into manual mode is one of the key point to let the ECU know you want it to shift it yourself. LOL

You might want to try it again?
Start your car
Sport + mode
Press the traction control off button for a few second until you see the light is off
go into +/- manual mode and now test drive.

to revive an old thread, does turning off traction control allow you guys to control when to shift? My IS will shift after redline automatically even in manual mode.

OK after doing that, shift the gear selector into M mode, and you should be able to hit the rev limiter freely.

Traction completely off but...
When doing a burnout on manual mode 1st gear the wheels spin but once it hits redline for 2 seconds it cuts the power. Does anyone know a way to disable this?

You have to do the pedal dance to turn it all the way off. With this method you can control shifts in sport plus manual mode. Even bounce off the rev limiter if you want.
- With the car off, engage the e brake
- Press and hold the brake
- Turn the car on
- Release the brake and pump the brake pedal 3 times holding it in on the 3rd pump
- While holding the brake in, release the e brake and then engage the e brake 3 times. On 3rd time, leave the e brake engaged
- Release the brake, and pump the brake twice. You’ll see the trac off indicator light turn on after pumping the brake the 2nd time.
- Release the e brake, put into S+, put into M mode
- Enjoy

The only thing I can't say is whether it'd allow you to do a burnout. How to do a burnout is what was being asked.

Thanks for sharing. However, in my experience, there's no reason to do this when you can just do the long press of the TC button while stopped. I have driven the car in the snow and could not tell a difference between pedal dance versus TC full off.

To do a burnout:
- Pedal dance, S+, and M mode
- Press brake
- Press gas gently until you hear the rear tires break loose
- Once you hear the tires, feather the throttle into high rpms
- Release the brake while giving gas
- Check your rear view for smoke

There is a difference. If you’re not doing the pedal dance, you’re nannies are not fully off. Where you’ll notice the difference is on dry pavement when you’re pushing the car.

I could swear this topic has come up before and been determined to be impossible, so very interesting to see that the answer was right there the whole time.

EDIT
As of today I have more insight for early 2014 owners. I finally found a way to make the car bounce off the limiter. I did the pedal dance, put the car in manual sport plus and did a first gear pull, the car shifted automatically at redline like normal. I took the car to a parking lot and for the first time, tried to do some donuts, the car spins and bounces off the limiter just as any non 2014 would, I did this a few times over just to be sure it wasn't a fluke. So in conclusion the car will bounce off the limiter while burning tires, but not during normal driving. I can't think of any explanation as to why this would be.

Assistance would be appreciated.
3is is350 Fsport rwd 8at 2013/2014 year model.
two issues.
1st issue
when in park I press track for 5 seconds my displays say track off and on the side the skid icon lights up on left side. However I don’t see the vsc light turn on on right side. Does this mean my vsc is still on? I can’t seem to shut vsc off. No vac symbol light coming on.
2nd issue
when my trac off and in sport+ mode and manual selected from moving gear selector to the left. The car will still auto shift up. I have seen videos where others won’t shift up unless ordered to sometimes they may redline a little.
