Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / February 2005Positive traction switch?
Is there a positive traction switch on my 84' Corvette? I was told I may have one, but do not see one..... Thanks, Johnny Mc On a 1984? I don't think they even had a computer in those days. Ed > Is there a positive traction switch on my 84' Corvette? > I was told I may have one, but do not see one..... > > Thanks, > Johnny Mc Actually they did have a computer but not a "positive traction" button and they still don't. There is a traction control/active handling button that you can turn on or off on the later C4s, C5 and C6. The computer was first used in 1980 for Kalifornicate Corvettes, then on all Corvettes in 1981 and up to the present.  SignatureDad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd > On a 1984?

The '93 has a button that disables the ASR (Automatic Slip Reduction), which I generally press as soon as I start the engine. Would that I could default it to off.

Wonder if you can set it to start in the off mode???

Wonder if you can set it to start in the off mode??? I know the 4th gen Camaros have a mod to set it to start in the 'off' mode. It involves slipping some type of module between two connectors. -- lab~rat >:-) The less you care, the more it doesn't matter.

I could have been mis-informed. Signature"Key" > Is there a positive traction switch on my 84' Corvette? > I was told I may have one, but do not see one..... > > Thanks, > Johnny Mc Thanks All!!!
