Long story, but I managed to fry my ASR/traction control unit today. It had something to do with me bolting the bracket down on top of the hot wire for my electric water pump. Not cool, especially considering I can't drive the car now.
Now I'd like to figure out how to get rid of the traction control unit altogether. I think it would look cleaner under the hood without it and I don't need it. Unfortunately, the cruise control and throttle cable are tied into the unit. I'm sure someone else has done this. Would it work if I got a throttle linkage assembly off of a pre-traction control car? Anybody done this already? Thanks guys! |

Does the car run now from the unit being fried?
To me, the issue is purely mechanical. You should be able to disconnect the electrics and it should run fine. ** your throttle cable does work fine when the car is off & I can't comprehend that GM didn't make it a failsafe system. |

No, it doesn't work that way. It is not a direct linkage between the pedal and the throttle for some reason. The ASR unit controls the linkage. Right now I can physically press the gas pedal in the car even though it is stiff, but the throttle does not open. I took the cover off the unit and it is not a direct connection. The car will start fine, just no throttle. |

There is a motor and a clutch inside that piece. I am shocked that it isn't working without the motor working.

I ran a new throttle cable directly to the throttle body.

Got it fixed. Found a new traction control module on eBay for $25, plugged it up and I'm good to go. Gotta love cheap C4 parts!
