Disable TC. can i add a switch to move wheel signal data from rear to front sensor?

**PLEASE: I've read every post on why this should not be done.

2014 STS semi auto.

Want to add a single pole/double throw switch...to be able to temporarily move sensor signal from rear wheel sensor to one of the 2 front wheel sensors. Thus tricking the computer into thinking all 3 wheels are turning at the same rate. For low speed occasional messing around only.

1) Has anyone actually done this? If so what were your findings?
2) How many wires feed the sensors? I'd prefer not to open them up until i know how many wires are inside.

I pulled the sensor off the rear wheel only & the bike went into "Limp Mode" until i reattached it.

Thanks,
Steve

I don't think it'll work at all. Even if you do get the rear wheel sensor to read from one of the front wheels, nanny is going to see it as vastly different tire circumference speeds, i.e. road speed, because of the diameter difference between the rear wheel and front wheel. Nanny will think left tire is spinning faster or slower than right tire and give you a VSS error very quickly. If you swap the rear sensor input with a front wheel input then nanny will see it as a vastly different speed mismatch front to back.

Fyi the only time I've heard of getting past the sensors was done for a dyno test & required going into the buds system, so doubt there is any switch you will configure to to try what you asking. :lecturef_smilie:

I assume TC stands for Traction Control. If so Traction Control is disabled until the vehicle speed reaches 50 km/h (30 mph). That is done for no other reason than to let you play and irritate your neighbors.

From front to rear: there's about a 7.5% difference...
The story told: is that the system will allow for up to a 9% difference.


Try this, and tell us what happens:
Cross-wire them together, with some switches that allow you to pull the data from different sources. :thumbup:
I'm not saying that it'll work, but you never know... :dontknow:

Pulse rate per rev....

:agree::agree: The single problem that I see is whether or not the pulses per distance traveled are the same between the front and back. It would be easy to have this with the front having a different number of pulses per revolution from the back. If the pulses per revolution are the same front & back then they are using the nanny to see the difference between the front & back pulses per distance traveled. Does anyone know if the pulses per rev are the same???

Judging from the size of the discs and without actually counting the slots, they look the same.

LMAO.... Amazes me how some here talk with such authority and state something cannot be done..... :roflblack:

Something is disabeld on this bike... don't remember be able doing this with the GS even with the RT
