Lil' Ray Ray Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hello, I'm new to this forum so please bear with me. I drive an 06 Vision and don't know much about it but I believe it has ATC and was wondering if it were possible to disconnect or bypass it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheeler73 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The only way to bypass is to disconnect the ABS module. I do not recommend doing that. Why do you want to bypass the ATC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Ray Ray Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 It just interferes with pulling in and out of mud and sand. I can't keep my RPMs up to keep the truck pulling or even when I'm empty I can't keep my RPMs up, soon as I hit a soft spot it starts spitting off air, power divider clicks in and out and the engine dies out. I'm was told it was the ATC doing this own its own because there's no switch on the dash to control it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Usually theres a mud/snow switch on the dash to disable it. Its all part of the ABS system. Pull the ABS brake fuses and see if that turns it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Ray Ray Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 OK thanks, will try although mine does not have a switch. But, if pulling fuse does disconnect it, is it OK to mess with anything ABC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbigrig Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 When you pull the fuse you will lose both ABS and ATC. The braking system will return to a normal air brake system without ABS. I agree that the ATC system is absolutely useless. If you pull the fuse to get out of the muck do your self a favor and put it back in. Getting into an accident and someone finding out your ABS was screwed with by the driver can cost someone some serious $$$$$! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Ray Ray Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Sorry for my delayed response everyone and thanks for the advice. I think my best option is to just get use to it, however I am getting a little for familiar with how to operate the truck around the ATC. I have a lot of air spitting off under the hood, it's mostly when I come to a stop, three to four times randomly spaced out and makes a high pitched chirping sound when it does it. Any thoughts on what it is? Thanks again everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1GreasyGirl Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I realize this post is ten years old, but since the question was not answered on here: I have found that the chirping usually ends up being a leaky connection in the u-pipe, or blown- out gaskets between the turbo- diffuser and exhaust. We usually just spray some soapy water on the connections, at the clamps, while it's running. If the connections begin blowing huge bubbles, that's the location of your leak. I usually start with torqueing the clamps, as they tend to stretch over time. If that doesn't fix your air leak, then the gasket needs replaced. Unfortunately, to get to the u-pipe, you have to remove the turbo- diffuser. We usually tear down the hot side of the motor at least once a year, clean all contact surfaces where your connections are made, and replace all gaskets, seals, and clamps, as well as cleaning the venturi, flushing the EGR cooler, and cleaning all electrical components. If you do all of this on an annual schedule, you shouldn't have any problems on that side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
