Disable Tc Rx400H

[Geir B]

Is there a fuse to pull to disable traction control on the RX400h? Any other way? Tried the MAF plug pull but that doesn't work on the european model.

Out of curiosity what benefit is there in that?

I've often thought that and always leave it on but on my LS400 there is a switch to turn it off.

I was supposed to pull a boat trailer up a slope when it was snow on the ground, but there was zero power to the rear wheels, and the front wheels wasn't helping either. Terrible 4wd system, the rear wheel should at least help from the start, not just when the car is rolling.

[steve2006]

Probably a challenge for most 4WD vehicles except perhaps a Land Rover with locked differentials and Mud and Snow tyres.

Yeah, but it seems that the rear wheels doesn't help at all from standstill. Owners of 450, is that car any better? It has an disable button for the trac?

It is far from terrible and I have always found the car admirable in snow and other circumstances with the rear wheels contributing. You are trying to do something it was not designed to do - the car does not hold itself out to be a 4x4 in this way and the transmision does not have 'traction control' in the sense that you mean.
