TRAC, A-TRAC, VSC, Auto LSD ?'S
Okay, so I picked up my 07 the other day and have some questions from the experts on TRAC, A-TRAC, VSC, and Auto LSD....
So accoring to the 05-06 repair manual the truck has A-TRAC, TRAC, VSC, DAC, HAC, and Auto LSD. From what I can tell TRAC works in 2wd only, A-TRAC in 4wd. VSC in 2WD, and Auto LSD when VSC is off. I know about DAC and HAC.
So when I press the VSC off switch the AUTO LSD and slip indicators come on. When I go into 4WD I get the VSC OFF light (different from slip idicator that comes on with VSC OFF switch). According to the owners manual the VSC OFF switch turns off traction control in 2wd with a breif push. Then you hold it for 3 or more seconds and VSC and Auto LSD turn off.
VSC only works above 9mph. I cannot find a bottom end speed associated with TRAC or A-TRAC.
So when you turn off TRAC your turning AUTO LSD on. So what is the difference between TRAC and Auto LSD? Does TRAC limit engine power and BFD, and Auto LSD only use BFD?
Is the A-TRAC on the taco the same as the FJ? (descriptions sound the same)
So from what I can tell you can choose in 2wd, TRAC, Auto LSD, VSC/TRAC, or good ol nothing.... In 4wd you can choose A-TRAC or nothing... Am I reading this all correctly?
Does anyone have a link to the 07 repair manual, as it has a VSC off swtich now?
EDIT: When reading this thread for information I suggest you disregard what K20Z3Si has to say, he has no clue what he is talking about.
