Preface: Safety Note: Splice this purple wire to a switch, and leave it ON!
All the 2007 to 2017 Jeeps come with a whole slew of new systems to keep you from rolling this top heavy beast. But when Off-roading, some of these systems can be a hindrance.
ABS - Anti-Lock Brake System - Prevents lock-up when braking
BAS - Brake Assist System - limits coasting
ESP - Electronic Stability Program - kills throttle when doing donuts
ERM - Electronic Roll Mitigation - stops you from flipping-it when doing donuts
TCS - Traction Control System - stops wheel-spin when doing donuts
Hitting the TCS OFF button only turns it half-off. It lessens the TCS allowing a little more wheel slip, thats it.
Pressing the TCS OFF button for >7 seconds, only works below 40MPH. It resets when you hit that magic number.
Pulling the BAS fuse helps, but disables ABS, which is actually helpful on the trail
The "dance" is a nice non-invasive option. Follow the links below to try it {Link Redacted, just look it up} . I couldn't get it to work on my 2013 JK.
This is what I did.
There is a sensor under the center console that does a lot of measuring for these fancy new systems. Take out the center console and cut the purple wire with the blue stripe. Splice in a switch, so you can turn these features back on, they ARE VERY USEFUL on the road.
Turn the switch OFF when you hit the trail head, then turn it ON when you are back on pavement. You will have to restart the vehicle for this module to turn back on.
