Sport Mode in 2013 PP SHO

[BMC10SEC50]

The manual says you will get a message that Sport Mode is on when you hit the traction control button twice. I've been messing with this all day and the only thing I get is a real fast pop up that says "Traction control off". Any thoughts? Yes, I have the PP.

I recall something about pressing the brake for 5 seconds for the advance trac off feature.
But I could be completely wrong as I don't have the performance packages on my SHO.

 

[ZSHO]

Just to clarify this is for the PP only,put the vehicle in drive and rapidly press the button twice and on left side of the dash should appear in yellow sport mode,advance track off,if you do the same procedure but only pressing the button once,traction control off should appear,make sure on the right of the dash the little slippery icon is lit.

 

[BMC10SEC50]

Ok, I was trying it in park. I'll try it in drive and let you know.

 

[BMC10SEC50]

Still the same thing. No Sport Mode message at all.

 

[ZSHO]

Bill is the slippery icon lit up on the right side of the dash?

 

[BMC10SEC50]

Yes but the only message I got was "Traction Control off", nothing about Sport Mode. The Traction Control off message came on real fast the went away unlike normally when you just turn the Traction Control off and the message comes up until you hit OK.

 

[ZSHO]

Sounds to me you have a sticky button,did you ever spill anything in the area,cause its not letting you program it,and does the button feel loose?

 

[BMC10SEC50]

Never spilled anything.

 

[ZSHO]

Never spilled anything.

Does the button feel loose?

 

[BMC10SEC50]

No, it feels fine to me.

I'm lazy and haven't read the whole thread but to put it in Sport Mode, press on the brakes and press the button twice. To turn everything off, press the brakes and hold the button down for about 8 seconds.

 

[BMC10SEC50]

Slurp- it's not working, that's the problem. I can turn the Advance Trac off but I can't get into Sport Mode for some reason.

 

[ZSHO]

Bill the button has to flicker like a light switch and not feel mushy,also do you recall it working prior to having the computer reprogramed by the dealer?

 

[slurppie]

BMC, mine can be temperamental at times requiring me to make 2 hard button presses otherwise it flip flops between traction on/off. Can you at least disable everything (advance trac off)?

It doesn't feel mushy at all. I've only tried it a few times and I don't ever recall it working.

Slurp- Yes, I can turn the Advance Trac off

The weather has alot to do with the function of the button operating to its full potential,like the cold will make it sometimes harder to push down.

 

[ZSHO]

Bill one more question,for performance and winter use does the advance track off work by holding the button down for five secinds with car in drive anf foot on brake pedal should be priority to function instead of sport mode.

 

[BMC10SEC50]

Yeah, I hold it down for 5-6 seconds and the Advance Trac is off.

PS- Get ready for Englishtown, I'll be going on a Weds within the next month or so.

Bill glad to see it resolved,can i go to sleep know,lol,at least it doesnt say advance track service soon,could be a TSB for that or a glitch.
