Line Lock Brake Control Question with TCS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Z Madness · 06-28-2010, 01:51 AM

I just installed the Line Lock that I purchases from Spohn.net (TCI). Has anyone had any issues with the TCS system going nuts when activating the Line Lock? I have three lights going off and the system says "service stabillitrac". After I turn off the car for a few minutes, all of the lights/warning go away. Just want to check if this is normal for everyone. This happens both with TCS ON and OFF. Thanks for your help. (I have a M6 V-6)

I dont have a line lock on my car but I do know when I dyno'd mine last week that all my traction control lights came on, it told me to service the stabilitrac, and all that other stuff.

I dont think the computer liked the fact that the rear tires were spinning and the rest of the car was locked down...I drove off the dyno and about a mile down the road all the warnings and lights went off and everything was back to normal.

Hope this helps....

Thanks to both of you. I guess not many are using line lock. ADM, I will check your website for MODS!

stabilitrack senses that the rear wheels are moving at a much higher rate and the front wheels aren't moving at all and that's why it goes off. Same thing happens on a dyno.

Andro · 06-28-2010, 05:44 PM

That's normal

flyby · 06-28-2010, 08:37 PM

Yeah, normal and will reset itself after a "normal" run

Eric Baker · 06-29-2010, 07:30 PM

Does it do this with a brakestand too?

Anytime the sensors realize that your rears are spinning different than the fronts it will send the code. When code is sent it will also turn traction control off even if you had left in on. Pain in the ass cause you have to clear it out to get the speedo to show up in the DIC again so just make a habit of hitting the thumb switch on the turn signal to cycle back thru and clear the DIC error message. Remember not to run your line locks longer than 30 seconds to avoid damage to the solinoid. Also note that this control is not part of the engine ecm so you cant just tune it down or off. Bummer for sure.

I installed a SJM line lock on my Camaro and works great. Yes, the lights come on and it says service stabiltrac. Goes off after a while. Sure is fun.

Thanks, really appreciate the comment and suggestions.

No prob. I was going to look since you were so helpful but I guess you don't have much for the V-6 crowd. Thanks a lot, though. Always appreciate vendor comments.

So i put in a linelock and 3 lights go on and "service stabilitrac"

So this summer if i go dragracing i use the linelock and then i cant use launchcontrol because these lights are turned on?

Which fuse is for this tractionsystem so i can take the power away (whit a relay) when i use the linelock or is there a better way?

I gonna try the "thumb switch on the turnsignal" tomorrow.
