for those who have done the esp shutoff
 

the thing where one opens up the purple wire to shut off power to the accelerometer; any problems? does it set an error code in the computer?

I have had mine done for about a month or so now and have not turned it back on since i did the mod. I ran the sequence way of life showed us to pull up the DTC on the dash display and nothing showed up. I have had no adverse affects since i did it.

X2, I have not had mine on since the mod, no problems.

No probs here either after having it a couple months.

Anybody have the link to the write-up? Can't find it.

i did this mod its easy and i have had no problems. im really happy with it :rotflmao1:

Just thinking (and maybe a little too hard),

Does that same accelerometer that triggers ESP also trigger the airbags? I understand that at times when you would want to disable the ESP, you probably don't want the airbags to deploy in the case of a significant jarring of the front bumper -- but if you switch it off and forget to switch it back on, do you have airbags?


Sorry to 'jack the thread, but I've been considering this mod for a while and am wondering exactly what systems it affects beyond ESP.

You aren't cutting power to the accelerometer. You basically cut the wire and that fools the computer into thinking a sensor or other component of the traction control has went bad thus shutting off the system

The Charger site this is based on identified the process as killing power to the acceleromater, so the computer would think it's down.

oh. I guess i was wrong then. All i know is i cut the wrong wire and my airbag light came on. I wonder if this cut the power to the airbags accelerometer?
