    Dyno run with manual swapped 325i

    Hello everyone,

    So my school is allowing me to put my car on the Dyno, however I have to disable traction control, for obvious reasons. The problem is since my car is swapped with a manual transmission from the factory automatic, my DSC button doesn't work.

    I'm curious if anyone knows a quick easy way to disable DSC for a short time, anything is appreciated.

    Thanks everyone!

    So you could just pull the fuses: F53 and F56

    Of course this would turn on the DSC/ABS light, and it may even stay on after putting the fuse back in.

    That did it, should've thought about looking at the fuse box first, however I probably still would've made a post just to be sure I wouldn't screw anything up lol. Many thanks!

    Strange, I wonder why mine isn't working? I always chocked it up to having something to do with the leftover automatic harness not being plugged into anything, lol

    I think F33 is for the button, that's a 5-amp one to see if it's missing or blown.

    1) Did you code your cars manual? 2) The TCU completely unplugged?
