ESP Disable - Take two

[CrazyNuts]

Hi ShortStuff

I tried the "wheel disable" trick and it never worked for me either. No matter how many times I tried. The thing about the wheel disable trick is that it does NOT disable ABS and BAS.

Have many people dont this? does it actually work? maybe im doing it wrong???

I have a vague memory that you had to have the computer flashed with special code to get that particular feature - it isn't generally, available - you've got to ask for it. Could be wrong, but...

I thought that maybe the case but i rang Geelong Dealership and they new nothing about it and i got the official we dont want to help you by stating if its not a feature in the manual then theres no such feature and there not allowed to turn esp off. I said well your not turing it off i am! once you enable the feature with your star scan, but it was obvious they didnt want to know about it

I posted this in another thread but this procedure is on page 165 of my owners manual.

Mines a 2009 JK so maybe its a recent inclusion..? Tell them to take a look

Yes i know- BAS is Fully active but ABS is in Off-Road Mode (allows for more skid) [i think BAS active is fine as it just applies max brake power in emergency braking]

Traction control is off, but limited slip feature is still active which i think is fine to have too.

ESP & ERM are fully disabled.

Attached a list of what exactly happens in the different ESP Modes

this maybe just in yours as it not in my manual but i have an 07 model.
And before you all say it wasn't a feature in the 07 i know that, thats why i had it re-flashed by Northern Jeep with the updated version but it still didnt work.
I will have to take it back to that dealer cos thats the whole reason i had them re-flash it! (only reason i tried Geelong dealership is i can't get back over to Northern Jeep for a while).

As I said in another thread, The service guy photocopied the update info for me, the procedure apparently works with the updated computer program. Still yet to try it. But I do have the photocopy from jeep. Am keen to see if it works.
