Thanks did mine today,perfect. Mine was actually dangerous the way it braked in uncontrolled surges especially going down hill and round a bend in loose gravel. I’ve been driving almost 60 years and my 1 year old truck thought it knew more about driving than I do!

I have been using this for last year works a treat 👌🏼

[@Datartari]

Thank you very much! That was the bad thing I notice when I jumped from the last Jimny (JB3) to the Sierra. I couldn't have pleasure any more to drive and play in sand because that traction control. Now you give me a simple solution without to eliminate safety when necessary in roads for instance.

Hi, my Jimny Sierra came from Japan in January and all the menus are in Japanese only. Was there any way you could change it to English?

[@Datartari]

​@@olegserov6796I really don't know. I suppose there is a menu to choose the language once that car is exported all over the world. In Brazil we receive the Jimny with a JBL multimedia in Portuguese_BR.

@@LifeofSmokey Hi I have another way and it doesn’t harm the car wires you just put the car in nuetral if it’s manual and on park if it is auto and go under the dash on the driver side and press the brake pedal on the brake pedal bracket there is a green switch you press on it for 13 seconds and it disables the traction control 100% and if you want to inable the traction control you just turn the car of and it will work like oem

I did this to my Jimny -- no "ESP Maintenance Mode Active" on my display -- it works though.

[@badongsantiago190]

Hi sir! Love your video, i just bought a 2021 jimny here in the middle east and yeah i cant even climb a small sand dunes because of this traction control, its so annoying.. Currently i saw this plug under my dashboard but it is connected with black and tan wire, should i remove that and insert that DIY small wire instead?

[@_Ad_Ra_]

Didn't know that the ESP will jump back on at 30km/h. I wonder if this is available for my 2016 jimny, too.

[@danielbarbieri8199]

I've found more convenient to put a flip switch serial with the esp fuse. In this case you can cutoff the esp as long and when you want it even when riding.

[@epicoutdoor5795]

It is a 40amp fuse that you're bypassing, with a 10amp switch at best. Could become a fire hazard. Have you considered a solenoid?

[@danielbarbieri8199]

You are cutting a minimal amount of Amp with the switch unless you are using ABS or ESP when you flip it. The switch works very well for my use. I am very happy with the mod.

[@epicoutdoor5795]

@@danielbarbieri8199 point taken, mate. And you could limit the use of the switch to when the vehicle is switched off for extra caution. What do you think the maximum amperage will be that the conductor inside the switch can deal with? ESP service mode doesn't work on my base model Jimny, I was planning to just remove the fuse, but have to admit that a switch is attractive...

[@patricioelosua5886]

Great tip! Question tho.. does the allgrip still function normally with this mode activated?

[@LifeofSmokey]

No idea 😅

[@voidfalse]

No, allgrip relies on ESP to function

[@asirisemasinghe4438]

Is this a good option so a locker diff will not interfere with the all grip brake torque vectoring system

[@LifeofSmokey]

Honestly i have no idea 😊

[@garethliddiard7968]

Hi Smokey. I have the GL manual, which is probably not available in your country. I am from South Africa. Unfortunately mine doesn't work the same as your Jimny. Could you possibly tell me how to turn mine off? I have the standard 2 tone info between the dials.

[@LifeofSmokey]

The traction control system should be the same as mine so 😅.

[@epicoutdoor5795]

Hi Gareth. Did you manage to "short" this out? I have the same trouble with a GL manual and is close to just pulling out the fuse. Despite having 3 years warranty left and risking a deurmekaar ECU.

[@pim1234]

Did you have to change your tpms when you installed other tyres ? Or (even better) removed it ?

[@LifeofSmokey]

I put new tpms sensors in the new wheels so i could keep my original wheel with the tires on it. They can just copy the data from original wheels into the new ones 😁

[@pim1234]

@@LifeofSmokey Also if your new tyres need an othe pressure ?

[@pim1234]

[@mikewilliams7913]

Hi Smokey. I just can't seem to turn mine off. I've got a silver paperclip jammed in both sides of the plug and when I hit the traction control button after all the lights go out (including the airbag light) nothing comes up on the day about maintenance mode. I've taken it for test drives to see like someone else commented about it was off but didn't say it on the dash, but no joy with mine. I've got a 2021 Commercial right hand drive 'wrong side!' Any ideas?

[@LifeofSmokey]

No that's weird , most people who follow my steps say it works 😁. Make sure you don't start the gear , don't have it in gear , don't hold the brake and so on. 😅

I need help, I tried this and the ESP didn't go into maintenence mode. I tried with a paperclip as well as lugs. Would you be able to guess what may have gone wrong? I have a 2021 model jimny.

[@LifeofSmokey]

The second your dash lights go out after you turn on your ignition you need to hold the ESP OFF switch for 8 seconds. Hold it to fast or to late and it will not work. That's most likely gonna be the reason 😊

[@TJAnttola]

Just a small tip. Take the glove box out, it helps alot. The connector is visible on the right side of the blower motor, electrical taped to several other wires. (change the cabin filter at the same time).

[@dr.ramsesmouelhi994]

An other easier way to cut off only esp, is to push a green bouton up the brake peddle. After turning on the car, pushing the brake and looking up the green bouton, push it for ~5 sec, the esp off will light up on the dashboard

[@ramiretz]

don't do that, you throw a fault code to the ABS/ESP ECU after doing this..... the system thinks the brake pressure switch is defective/malfunction..... ABS not working/hill assist not working

[@enolamns]

Looks like on some Jimnys it doesn't work. :(

[@LifeofSmokey]

It's really important you only start pressing the traction control switch when the lights on the dash go out. To soon or to fast and it doesn't work.....might be indeed another problem :-)
