Default Turning the traction control off?

I heard there was a way to "completely" turn off the traction control? I shut mine off but it seems to still want to butt its nose into my driving. Anything to add to this issue?????

look in the user manual , there is a way do fully deactivate the ESB/BAS system

something like turn your wheel half a turn right , press the esp button for 7 sec ....

it's a bit complicated but it works , but only for 2008+ models

Why would you want to turn this off. i dont see where it would hinder you in the least. unless your beating the crap out of the Jeep and it wont let you.

Just get your suspension setup correctly instead.

You can go to the dealer and make sure you have the latest flash then run the tsb for ESP disable. I have done mine and I love it!

Hold in the button till you hear it beep. But you have to do it every time you start it.

holding the ESP button does not completely shut downs the ESP system. To completely shut it down so far there are only 2 options kill switch or steering turning trick but that requires a visit to dealer for a flash first.
