So simple and still very professional, well done Big Guy and team!

Well done mate! Nicely made video and super well explained 😊🤙🏼

Brilliant! Thank you for bringing this up!

Top notch video. High quality and a solid option. Bummer it’s such a mission. I have paper clip living above my gas pedal.

That’s great and yeah will do same short wire with switch and easy to take out when service time

That is awesome!! Well done 🙏🏽

Took the fuse out today and was happy to get same result. Means I can tow my trailer through the soft stuff easily now. Did a run at Fraser few months ago on incoming tide and he’ll it was a nightmare. Ended up running 4L to get through a lot of soft sand for miles, but in 4H would have smashed it if not for the f… TC. FYI I called Suzuki AU HQ today and got flogged off to the QLD Marketing Team who really did not want to hear my winge about this topic and we’re quick to say that they have no complaints about the TC issue and it’s there to protect the driver. Haha, yeah right, on the road yes but off road, serves no purpose. Anyways I told them that it’s ludicrous to promote the Jimny as a serious off-roader , charge a lot for it and then make excuses for the soft sand issue not being a requirement for a 4x4 to be going over 30k an hour. BS I said. Again thanks for your post, I’ll be fitting the switch for sure.

I wonder what the 1000$ option is 😁. Looking at my fuse right now thinking about pulling it out or not 😂

Good video buddy, traction control coming on in the sand would piss me off big time, especially near the ocean 😂😂

Great vid. Out of interest would removing the fuse give the same result. Just that I’m heading off this weekend and won’t have time to do what you have done so quick fix would be take the fuse out temporarily on the soft sand driving.?

just what I need perfect, thank you 🙏

Awesome, well done on you 🥰

Soldering cable connectors is the best way to ensure connectivity. However, where the soldering material end inside the cable is a braking point. Meaning, vibrations might cause the cable to brake over time. Solution: cable tie the soldered part tight to a solid surface to eliminate vibrational movement.

Maintenance Mode is a better solution IMO. This way, you are not messing with the harness.

Hey any chance this would work on a gen 3 jimny?

Good idea. The only thing is to find a way for the wires to go inside to the dash panel.

having similar problems.. what were they thinking at suzuki. I am using 4low in many situations now because of this

Hey mate, Does this also kill your power steering? Removing my ABS fuse from the passenger side took away power steering for me.

Good video sir, I'm so noob with electrical work, can I just remove the fuse?

Gday boss. A year later, how is your mod going?

You really smart bro

Hey mate, have you seen the YT video from the Guy called "life of smokey" and how he cut his ESP functions in his Jimny?

Sweet mod

Would this allow me to do skids in 2wd

Why woukdnt you just wack a switch on the original jump loop plug ?

Curious, is the switch and connectors you are using. Are they rated for 40amp current? Based on the fuse rating and the heavy gauge of the green wire, I assume that circuit has quite high loading. Not sure I'd want to rely on that load going through a cheap switch. Guess a relay could be used though.

Bridge the service connector taped to the harness going to the accelerator pedal, turn on the ignition with anything, wire, paperclip etc, turn on ignition, wait for the ESC lights to turn off and hold down the ESC off switch until the dash turns orange and says service mode. ESC off for all speeds and all ranges, everything else still works, no cutting wires, no logged ESC and ABS faults in memory for Suzuki to say what's going on here when they do anything related to the disabled circuits.

Would it not be worth tracing the wires back to just the traction control unit and fitting a switch in at that point instead of at the fuse box.

If you lower your tyre pressure for sand, doesn't you tpms go crazy ?

Can you drift with it?

🎉🎉🎉

It this really a problem though? When I have my Jimny on the beach it runs fine at any speed once I get it on the hard stuff, and in the soft stuff I'm going less than 30km because I don't want to roll or otherwise break my car. For the really soft stuff such as getting on or off the beach, I'm in low range anyway. I was worried that I'd have to do either this or the ESC maintenance mode hack but at this point I'm not sure I see the need. I don't know, maybe some people drive their Jimny at high speed in really soft sand but I think the wheel base is way too short to be safe or comfortable.

Yes not a good thing to override this way, better to loop the black/tan wire at the acceleration pedal. It’s a permanent fix that doesn’t record isolation, once looped at the pedal it just a simple 8 second hold of the switch every time you want to disengage the traction control. I understand why you went to the source but definitely a no-no, easier permanent way to on/off the traction issue.

any idea what the name of the solution is? also what happened to the channel? it's great!!!

does every jb74 do that ???

why not just put it in esp service mode, jumper wire in the plug next to the throttle pedal, key on dont start, hold traction button until dash turns orange. start car. restart car to re-engage. jumper wire stays in place. 2 mins and no actual modification needed.

Can't you just put a switch in the green cable ?

Here’s another way of doing it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eM-VrbaJ2LCod3U.html I’ve done it in my Jimny and it works like a charm. However, as I have a different (more simple) dashboard my ESC disabling procedure is slightly different. I disable RSC before starting the engine, not after.

I hate it. Its bs that you cant turn it off. Makes driving in snow bs too, almost made me go into a ditch.

so the realy cheap way is just pull out the fuse before off roading
