There is a hack to turn off the nannies but it also kills the abs.


As far as I know there is no way to kill all the nannies (other than in 4wheel low) and leave the abs. It's all or nothing.

 

There is a hack that allows you to turn the system on and off. Just add a switch to a wire in the center console.

 

Last winter I hit a patch of road that was solid flat as can be ice. My JKUR started to fishtail, even though I immediately let off the gas. The only reason I didn't start doing 360s on a busy road was the ESC kicked in and kept me going in a straight line. Without it, I'd have either gone off the road or into opposite direction traffic. I've never experienced that with any other vehicle. But I am so thankful I had ESC. I would never consider disabling it. If you're activating it, either you're driving way too hard for conditions or there is something wrong with it.

 

I have had the ESC save me a couple of times also and wouldn't want to drive on the roads without it. However off road, I don't need it applying the brakes in sand and mud. (not doing anything crazy) I have a switch that gives me the option.

 

Are you guys saying that using the ESC switch also disables ABS?

 

No.


If you use the factory switch it does not disable the abs but you can only use that switch under certain circumstances and it does kill the entire control system.


The above switch hack allows you to turn EVERYTHING off in any mode you wish.... 2wd...4wd.. etc.... but it also turns off the abs

 

I like you drove Vehicles without all the nannies on them. I have a 07 so why are was underneath the center console I cut it and put a switch on it and I can turn it off when I want which I do driving in the snow. I think different years of Jeep I have a different colored wire or different area to install switch but it can be done. You can turn it on and off when you like. A lot of the younger generation haven't driven the other cars like we have they're used to the nannies where is we are not I prefer to feel my vehicle slipping and sliding rather than the computer doing it for me.

 

Also old here as well. And I remember back when you actually had to drive your vehicle not just steer it. It gets very frustrating in 2W and 4Hi to have the jeep trying to counter act what I'm doing. There can be just one captain of this Jeep and by god it's going to be me. I'm now looking up how to do this mod on and 07.

 

Well if you can't find it let me know I got it on one of my tablets at home somewhere
