All you need is wire and a rocker switch.
The way i have mine set-up is. I have the switch in the center console by the brake.
Connect one side of the rocker switch to any metal part in car for ground. Connect the other side of the switch to the parking brake switch wire in the center console.
When you turn the switch on it grounds the circuit. Making the car think the parking brake is on. This also turns off the Traction control.

Or you can pull the ebrake up just a little and and the traction control turns off. And its not enough to trigger the ebrake handle message.

If it don't trigger the message the traction control is still on. If pull it up it must be at the first click.

I tried the e brake one click and shifted into nutral reved it and shifted into d and traction control still clicked in but I'll try tl run it with a switch....wen revving in neutral should I shift it to 1... Or start it on 1

When i drive with the traction off it's in the snow. So i keep it in Drive. My driveway. i can't get up with the traction on.

Kingdemex

Does it have to tell u that the traction control is of??? Because mine just said the e brake is on

06_cobalt

No its not the traction control light comes on. Its the only way my car can do a somewhat decent burnout lmao

DO NOT rev it in neutral and shift into a different gear!!! You will **** up your transmission really quick. When traction control is off the little light will come on.

If the ebrake light is on. That also turns off the traction. My 2010 Has a yellow traction light that also comes on when the brake is on.

If you put it in first it should automatically turn traction control off.

Yea that does too. In my case i wired the switch. because there is times over the winter where they will spin into 2nd

06_cobalt

Yea when it snows I just put it in first and keep it there. Makes a big difference

Kingdemex

Ok I tried it in 1 and and the only light I got was the brake i gave it gas and it bured out for like two sec but no traction control light the only other light that is on is the check tire light because i have rims without the tire pressure sensor in them...

06_cobalt

If it's an orange colored light with a tire that's the traction control light. Among others.

Kingdemex

ok i think i got it its doing better now

No neutral drops!!! only on rental cars...

Put your car in L or 1 and you just have to balance your RPMs so it doesnt shift (keep high revs in first)
