Hi guys, I am after some technical information on my 2003 D2 v8 upgrade, is there an official Land Rover website where I can get info on how exactly the traction control works with and without the center diff lock, and whether there is a way to turn off the traction control when required, I have had conflicting info about how this works and how to turn it off, any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

 

There is no button to turn it off it’s always there providing it’s working
you don’t have cdl unless you installed a locking transfer case
From what I understand if you had cdl and locked it the power would be 50/50 distribution front and rear

 

Apparently TC Can be turned off if you have a Cdl.
Engage it, turn off ignition, restart, TC is off, a member recently posted this in another thread.
I have not tried it yet.

 

interesting

 

yea it's been well documented and I never tried it on purpose but it does work. I used to just chalk it up to the 3 amigos acting up but it is consistent for me.

 

I'm excited to try turning TC off(once I get my D2 running again).
I actually like spinning tires and a bit of a challenge.

 

without lockers the TC combined with the CDL is quite a potent combo. If locked front and rear I'm not sure the TC has much use so if I ever get around to regearing and locking the front I'll be utilizing this much more. Although I'm not a big fan of turning my vehicle off and on while on the trail unless it's a planned longer break. Things in motion tend to stay in motion lol I don't want to find out the starter up and crapped the bed just bc I didn't want TC on

 

I don't the idea of turning it off either.
When I originally asked about this in another thread, I wanted to know if basically option B could be done with an inline toggle switch. So you could turn off abs, hdc, and tc all by flipping one switch.
Assuming so, if flipping the switch back then turns them all back on, or if codes must be cleared first(I have an Ultragage and a Nanocom).

 

You want TC/HDC disabled unplug a wheel sensor.... aka 3 Amigo’s = no TC or HDC whatsoever.

 

That has not been my experience, I have the 3 amigos and my TC will work and HDC sometimes. I have not read the codes to see what's causing my 3 amigos so I can't say exactly what my cause is.
