Traction Control

Are you sure? All V6's have the secondary throttle position sensor connector for traction control on the engine bay wiring harness, but the car's main wiring harness should be missing the necessary bits (ECU and switch connectors)- there were two main harnesses, one for traction, one without.

As far as I can see, to retrofit traction control to a V6 you need to either swap the main wiring harness (!) for the traction control type or perhaps remove the traction control elements from a loom with TC and then add them into your existing loom (?!). Difficult difficult lemon difficult.

I dont know if the traction control on the 260 is different to the other 75/ZT's but I would say you are better off without it if it is. Its not actually tranction control more of a engine kill switch. Positively dangerous if you are trying to make a swift entrance onto a busy road!

Mine has a traction control lever which is controlled by an organic ECU.

my traction control slows the car considerably, but also tells me when im going too fast, approaching a corner too fast or braking too late, or if a car is driving too close behind.

I just wish it would shut up sometimes!!

Well the worst bit will be changing the abs modulator for a traction one, then you need all the rest of the bits.. Best way is to grab all the bits from one car complete.
