You have to be at a complete stop in order to turn it off.

for the 06 i believe you have to go through a bunch of sequence with brakes or so to disable it. unlike 07+ where you just press and hold the butto

Default traction control response

yea i know you have to be at a complete stop to cancel it, but once you do if you start to do a circle douhnut it will come back on about half way through the turn. if you hold it down and power brake the car then you can roast em but if you go to do a circle once you break it loose then it comes back on. how do i turn it off for good, and has any one put the lsd in the rear end yet and has any input to how it does with the lsd? thanks everyone!

^ You have an 06 GS, you don't have the full VSC/TRC cutoff button. What you do have is a temp cutoff that automatically comes back on when you go over 25mph. To completely disable the VSC/TRC you have to do the infamous 'pedal dance', a series of pressing the parking brake and foot brake to disable the VSC/TRC. Do a search in the IS250/350 forum under 'pedal dance' or 'vdim cutoff' to find the exact instructions. The full VSC/TRC cutoff button became available from '07+. Good luck.
