How-To #3: Fully Turn Off Traction Control! 2006-2010 DODGE CHARGER All Models

This video shows how to fully turn off ESP (traction control) AND torque management - for 2006-2010 Dodge vehicles (should work for Charger, Challenger, not sure about other models).

This frees up the rear tires more for things like easier to chirp the tires, burnouts and potentially very slight torque increase.

Can confirm, I have a 2010 Charger R/T and this works!

RIP tires.

It actually isn't off 100 percent, it's only off 80 percent, what you have to do to make it turn off 100 percent is to take the abs fuse (red fuse) out and then your 100 percent off, then the engine will put down as much possible power to the wheels then you'll really feel it.

And all this time I thought I was sliding around enough. Boy was I ever wrong =D Thanks!

You can also turn it off by holding down the esp button for 7 seconds after you press it the 1st time while the car is at a complete stop.

fun stuff! cautionary/info/history lesson note: wheel hop is really hard on axles..they can break..it's part of why they put traction control, launch control in cars like this. shame Chrysler went away from the simpler, stronger, more efficient leaf spring rear suspension of the muscle car days up through the 80's. although they kept them in trucks till 2008 and gen 1 Durangos. no wheel hop only in the case of Mopars, bc proper design/metallurgy, GM and Ford used either coil springs or substandard leafs out back with lackluster results. with a Mopar vehicle there never was wheel hop and life was good! you never needed a rear wheel alignment, either. the super stock editions were arched more for more of an effect + had extra leafs. top Hi-Po cars, like your 440 and 426 HEMI powered beasts had an extra leaf or leaf and a half on the right side to make torque application to the axle more even, as more of it naturally goes to the right axle. and they..super stock models.. were so robust, no anti-sway bar was even needed, bc roll rate was already at optimum. the leafs were placed so the front section was shorter & thereby stiffer, this was all very carefully engineered stuff, tested and tested and tweaked and tested some more, over many years. they were different on every size and performance level car. not just simple buggy springs, willy nilly tossed under a car or truck, lol. those were excellent handling cars, too btw. do not believe the revisionist historians out there, pooh poo'ing muscle cars driving around actual corners, at yes, high speeds and in a very stable and competent manner, lol..ok, maybe the 'brand x' stuff blew chunks (read were 'lame' to use a modern term), but not Chrysler designed cars of the 60's-80's. i know, bc i've logged many a mile behind the wheel of both mid and full sized Mopes of that era..from 318-440 engines and all sizes in between, through any and all road conditions in Wisconsin. those cars do benefit greatly from modern tires, ofc! Mopar leaf springs by way of simple physics, geometry etc, plant/push the axle down..the harder you hit the accelerator, the harder they push down, the more traction benefit. when launching a Mopar hard off the line, the rear of the car would actually go up! along with the front. awesome stuff. a flat, or de-arched leaf spring makes for a better cornering car, ofc. lower CG. want some proof of all this amazingness? watch vintage drag racing/burnout videos, right here on youtube. see any wheel hop? zilcho :D

You don't have to be moving to do the key trick. When my dad still had is '07 Charger R/T, I tried this: turn and hold the key for *10* seconds (while the car is running of course) and it will disable TC. For those who are having trouble, try this method too.

Work on my 2010 300c . I left the gas station cloudy asf 😂

[biscuitshemi]

Worked on my 06 Daytona thanks could be the reason I gotta get the rear end rebuilt🥶

[robbieXP]

Wonderful video, I'll relay this video to my son. Thanks!

[ViperX]

Yeah I tried this and i heard my starter grind

[mikesylvester]

I have a 2006 Charger rt daytona lot of mods including torqstorm supercharger. I had been driving 200 or so miles before i got curious about the TC button. I hit and wow feels like a honest 50 hp gain although i could burn the tires with TC on it smokes them now i going leave mine on TC when i start and put around when i want more ill switch it on. I want to save my rear end as it does make a difference in wear tear on rear this it not disabled all the time just when i want it on, next is a n.o.s. kit for the 5.7 and finish my methonal injection. Then i plan on being the fastest car in town 2000 people here racing 1 at a time here so far no race lost but who knows what other beasts remain in garages around here there is always faster thanks for the info here.

When you shut the car off does it all reset to normal? Like can yku do this on the fly

[SuperIntelguy]

I've tried this and it doesn't work. I have a 2006 Dodge Charger RT and when I do the key turn it doesn't work. Do you know what I can do?

[d.g.]

Just turned my buddy's 6.1 Hemi into a Monster.

[oj]

Can you do a video on 2011-14 5.7 chargers ?? We get no love man

[matttaylor]

Hell yeah! Worked on my manual 2009 Challenger R/T. Now I can burn those tires till I want to stop, not when the "disabled" ESP wants me to!! Thanks, brother!!!

[jonw]

Disable everything by simply yanking the abs fuse.

[patrickrobinson]

I turned off my traction control fully off and now it's stuck on. I'm getting a lot of rear wheel hop and smell something burning from the rear end. What should I do. I have the 2007 3.5 act. Can anyone help me.

[YoungPrincinho]

Didn’t work on my 08 Dodge Charger SE, the 2.7l

[Tj-bfme]

Heck i just make a left turn and my traction control shuts off and the esp light comes on. Lol. Its the sensor that needs to be replaced on driver side to keep it from doing that. Idk if it actually gives more torque but i am told you lose some braking control should you have to slam them 🤷🏻‍♂️ ~09’ R/T
