ASC vs ABS vs TRACTION CONTROL!

In this video, we explain how the ASC, ABS, and Traction Control features of the Mitsubishi Pajero affect its off-road capabilities. We also discuss the use of a traction control loom to turn it on and off, making the Pajero even more capable on challenging terrain. Join us as we take you on a journey through the Pajero's off-road capabilities!

Fitted this today in my 07 X NS watched your installation video and the one on the instructions and got it in and done in about 30 minutes tested and it all works thanks 👍

Hey, loved your video, but with central differential locked and ESC turned off with the button, you should not have any problem on sand. TC does not shut off engine, ESC does. Thanks for sharing!

[oldbloke]

My brothers Pajero and my Sport both have Mitsubishis Super Select system which I believe takes care of a lot of this via selecting which mode you want depending on the surface that you're on.
In sand mode it will hold about 2300 rpm which is about peak torque and it seems to switch off most of the traction control as it seems to have no issues with spinning the wheels in the sand.
I'll be taking it on to a beach later this year, hopefully, so I will have a play but they are pretty damn capable if you even just let the electronics do their job.

Does the handbrake light come on when “turning off” tc with that loom?

[anonim]

I must investigate it further, but i think that in my vehicle when ASC is off the engine power is not cut at all - only wheel braking is being applied, even in RWD only.
When engaging diff lock - it disables all electronics, you can loose all hell then and go on full throttle just like in the 'classic' 4WD.

Are you using 18inch or 17 inch wheels? and any recommendations on the wheel size for SWB.


I am currently using 18inch stock wheels with Blackbear All Terrian Tyres

What will happen to ECU in case there is earth leak to car body from other source?

I have a 2010 NT with Factory rear diff lock,
Does this loom have option to turn front diff TC on, with the rear diff locked and TC off?

[TryABaconSlice]

Hey mate question - i can engage RDL even in 4HLc, which i often do in dunes and what not. Is there some sort of speed cap we shouldnt exceed with the rear diff locked im 4HLc?

Seems like this is the best way to tackle sand as you have the momentum of 4H, a locked centre and rear diff, and no electronics

[ShaneM-cugr]

Is the traction control loom only required for automatic transmissions?

[alwynvanderlinde]

Hey mate, nice footage but I'm going to question some of it:

As you know, I own a shorty like yours but with the rear diff lock.

We have plenty of soft talcum powder here in NZ that I've tested it on. I ran some tests extensively all on the same white sand dune.

#1: 2H - bogged basically at a standstill.

#2: 4H - bogged at the base of the dune.

#3: 4HLC - as above.

#4: 4HLC with ASC OFF - top of the hill in 1st high range.

#5: 4LLC - this switches ASC off automatically and I made it to the top of the dune as above. (2nd low range)

#6: 4LLC with rear diff locked - now this should by all accounts switch off the Traction Control. I made it to the top of the dune just fine.

My conclusion after more extensive testing: traction control being on or off really makes no difference in the sand at all. ASC, however, absolutely must be off otherwise you become bogged quickly due to engine cutting power almost immediately.

I would love to have the TC mod where I can keep my rear diff lock engaged and the front TC working!! I reckon that would turn the shortie into a little beast alright.

Anyway, that's just my 2c worth.

TLDR: Traction control being on or off makes no difference for me on soft sand. ASC needs to be off though!

My nx 2017, doesn’t have asc button idk why

[jeffyik]

Hi there, great video. I have a same gen 4 pajero and pretty new to off-road, to drive on a sandy beach similar to your video, is it best to use 4H, 4HLC or 4LLc. Thx

[MrDrahmin]

Hi bro
Do you know, Is TC different in 3rd pajero? Can we use same detail for do it as in 4rd pajero?

[FirstLightAdv]

ABS: Stopping
TC: Moving
ASC: Sideways action

[paulholyoak]

When are you going to have some merch on your site?

[karl]

In regard to EGT in your car with the scan-gauge, did you have to get a thermo-coupling fitted to your exhaust to read the temps there or does the Pajero already have a sensor for EGTs that the scan-gauge reads?

BTW, I bought the loom off your prior video on it. Still haven't had a chance to experiment with it, though 🤦‍♂

[amrah]

Hi, I have question regarding earthing ECU end of wire to override traction control. Is there any harm or damage to ECU if requent switching on and off?

[E.Vancina]

Pro tip, when you turn ASC Off and lightly press the brake pedal, it turns off TC in Pajero's.

Hey mate, have you installed a torque converter clutch (TCC) lockup kit yet?
