The source of all knowledge.....

Only way to know for sure is to go fling it around a hairpin.

For that, I direct you here: The other source of knowledge....

Yeah, try that and see if it works. Some Guy is a pretty reliable source of information, in my experience.

You can only know for sure by trial and error. Pull some fvckin tubes, wires, hoses, etc. apart under your car (only two at a time, as per some guy's directions) and go test it out. If traction control is still on, then you gotta try another two hoses/tubes/wires. That's the DIY tradeoff. The dealer could probably charge you 1000 dollars to pull the right wires out, but it's much more fun to pull your own wires, IMO.
