you can not fully disable traction control on the 12 and 13's regardless of how long you push and hold the button. the only way is to pull the abs fuse, which disables other things as well. im wondering if thats what they did, or if they found a way to retain everything yet remove tc.
One cannot completely override traction control or yaw control on a 2011 either.
Beyond a certain yaw angle, even in offroad with advancetrac disabled, it'll still try to save you from yourself. Which has almost actually killed me on occasion. Thanks ford.
Same thing for traction control, it'll allow a certain amount of slippage, but beyond a certain wheel speed differential over x amount of time, it'll throttle back on its own.
Throw the rear end up on sturdy jack stands, throw it in gear, and hit the gas (redneck style !) if you don't believe me...
It will let you still do a mild drift at speed as in the above picture though.
Your tuner is mistaken. The traction control and stability control can not be altered by tuning.
If it were so someone would be making a ton of money with their tunes...
A quick little flip to bring the rear end around isn't the issue, that's doable. It's high yaw angles or sustained wheel spin. You might not even notice it throttling back because of the momentum and "slip" you are already carrying in a quick little u turn.
I drive on ice 6 months of the year, the traction control's behaviour is pretty well known to me at this point.
