Default EFI LIVE: ABS/Traction Control Issues....

Hey guys - workin on my Tahoe again after its been sitting for over a year. Ive since got EFI Live and while Im extremely proficient in Diesel tuning, my gasser stuff is severely lacking.

The tahoe is on 40s, and of course has ABS Issues. Does EFI LIVE have any control over that system? I know I can recalibrate to get it close, but I seem to remember that 35 is the biggest you can go in the ABS computer (think that has to be done with a tech 2 anyway,right?)

2nd question.... every time I get in and drive I start going and at about 3mph the throttle cuts out and LOW TRACTION comes lit up on my control panel on the left side of the steering wheel. I have to push the traction control off button and it will go again. Any way I can disable that system with EFI LIVE, or is related to the above deal?

Thanks guys!

sounds like they are both related to me... Not sure on the EFI question though. I'll see if I can find out...

sounds like a wheel speed sensor my avi was on 39.5s and done that turned out to be a faulty sensor in the front hub

I had the same problem with my old truck, 2000 on 38s w/ 4.88s and 4.56 gears.

I never got it to work the way it should, ended up having to fool the computer by playing with tire size/gear ratio combos. Got all the lights/codes/problems to stop, only problem I was left with was the speedo wasn't 100%
