ESP Disable - Take two

[Laz]

Bwahaha - All the EvIl :evil plans, all the sledging, all it took was someone a little more crazy...

Finally there is a switch that unlocks the true potential of a JK.

The mod so many have waited for.

The BANE of all simple 4wing fun!

so

who

would

believe

that

all

it

took

was a simple switch

that makes a JK Wrangler

into a bloody TJ

(BWahaheaha just pooped myself laughing ROFLMAO) so much for the whole JK/TJ debate - this thread is pure GOLD

To control the rear locker you simply need to ground pin 42 of C1 from the TIPM (violet/light green). To control the front locker you simply need to ground pin 41 of C1 from the TIPM (violet/dark blue).

Like in the other above method the FCM monitors it's locker relay output for any unspecified draw or source. The FCM will set a DTC or a tell-tale in this event as well. Your dealer WILL be able to see it when you service the Jeep. Probably bad for your warranty.

Consideration: This method may not be subject to the 18 mph speed limit. Locker operation will continue until switched off.

Consideration: There may be problems with the lockers on and the ESP system in full effect. The ESP monitors steering position, wheel speed, etc. When you would make a corner with the rear locker on both wheels will maintain the same speed. The ESP may misinterpret this as a wheel with loss of traction and cause the system to try to compensate using throttle control and ABS.

There are so many clever people on AJOR well done to all! Now has anyone done this????

So if i deciede to do this am i right in thinking that engaging either locker in whatever situation should only be done with the ESC/ESP disengaged??
Then the computer know's no different and the ESP shouldn't play a role in this function.

Its a good point you raise reyor with lockers on in 4Hi and the computer possibly interpreting the inner wheel as slip while cornering (cos its moving at the same speed as the outer wheel)

Because i have ARB Lockers and can select them at anytime, this point just raises the importance on the ESP Disable Switch

I also just bought the ORO Swaybar and can operate that at anytime too.

Boy after ready all the guff you guys with the Rubicon have to deal with im so glad i went for the Sport Model and fitted my own lockers and swaybar

Thanks Mel, this link you've given shows where to locate all the solinoids and has been done step by step so the metal bashers like myself can understand it.

Now is there any way that i can lock the rear or front diff electric locker or both (I have a auto petrol 07 4 door rubi) with out having to use 4Lo?? is this possible or am i going to far??

With the switch mode what did you achieve? I presume you got rid of TCS and ESP ("correction" for roll mitigation and oversteer/understeer). Is BAS gone too? And what about EBLD (electronic limited slip mimicking)? Is ABS still active?
