Is there a safe way to totally disable the TCS system on a 95 Q45 keeping the ABS working? I think the TCS and ABS systems are somewhat dependent of each other, but if there is a way to take out a relay/fuse etc. that would bypass the TCS that would be great for me. I need a new TCS actuator which I really don't feel like replacing. I always drive with TCS off and I don't need it down here in Florida so if I can safely by-pass the system that would be great and then I would not have to turn off the TCS everytime I turn on the car also.

Thanks....Rob

Just take out the TCS fuses. Theres 2 under the hood, and there may be one in the passenger compartment..

You could also just unplug the TCS actuator.. or the TCS control unit..... Your choice!

The idea of disabling a G50 TCS model to retain the 4 wheel ABS appeals to me.

I would get rid of the primary TCS throttle body also, though.
