M-Track Mode Intervening on Straight?

[eacmen]

nice! glad it worked out, i'm hoping it's the same for mine; wheel speed sensors or yaw sensor at worst. did you happen to do all of them at the same time, both yaw and wss?

yeah, i'm really hoping mine doesn't have to do with the reluctor rings, abs pressure switches, or worst case the mk60 module which i doubt but i guess you never know.

yeah i did all at once

i think i'll start with the wheel speed sensors and do yaw sensor if it still happens. thanks again, gives me some hope on this one

5E3C code smells like the yaw sensor. Its the one under the drivers seat. SMG cars have another yaw sensor that is unrelated to DSC.

Where specifically on the straight is this happening? Are you running very stiff suspension? Is traction control flashing when it happens?

Consider turning DSC completely off and see if you get the same effect. (Do NOT turn DSC off/on while you are driving)

Wait why shouldn't you turn off DSC while driving?

It is generally considered a bad idea to turn traction control off off mid-session on track. This is more a driver issue than a car issue. Once you're in a session your brain has a hard time adapting. If you take a corner a certain way with DSC on once you turn it off you're muscle memory is already established and the chances of crashing is increased.

While driving on track.

I was instructing in a car on Summit Point Shenandoah. The first time into the Karussell, DSC intervened (he forgot to turn it off in the pits). I told him that we will pit, turn it off and go back out. Came through Big Bend's exit and at ~90+ mph I saw the car drifting right into the narrow grass towards the wall. I looked over and he was leaning right to push the DSC button, unconsciously pulling the wheel right. We went for a not-good ride at speed with the right wheels in the grass. Bad juju.

Always change whatever setup in the pits. Everyone thinks they can do it at speed in traffic, and then.....

The wall doesn't know you and doesn't care who you are.

Oh gotcha, I didn't realize you meant mid-session. That makes sense.

I've made the mistake of forgetting to turn off traction control before a session. Feeling that shit intervene on track is the worst.

One other option is to grab your purse and hit the DSC button to turn it off. I'm sure that can be done while not turning the wheel. hahahahaha
