Exclamation Turning off VSC & TRAC? Experiment.

Hey people, shall I say wanting to take a risk people.

I know the should've been posted before. How do you completely turn off traction and VSC controls in an LS430?

Hold on to your hats, I found this post shared by a friend today. There is a brake and parking brake pedal sequence that can turn off all the traction systems until you shut off the car and restart it again.
Kind of like a cheat code for a video game.

I tried it today in a hurry, didn't work for me, '06 LS430.

Shouldn't the GS430 have same computer programming?


Here is the link with the instructions:

Any one who tries this, please do at your own risk. And report back if it worked

Seems like you could just pull a circuit breaker and take your luxury cruiser to the drift races.

From what I understand, you cannot totally disable the system. You can disable traction and kill your ABS if you want via a fuse but the computer will never totally let go of the throttle body. Drive by wire...

That procedure does not apply to the 430 to my knowledge.
