Thread: CDL in Disco 2

If you engage your CDL with the motor running, ABS and TC will still be enabled.
There ae times when being able to turn off TC is useful, sand is a prime example. All the aftermarket CDL's will disable TC and ABS if the CDL is engaged with the engine off.
You shold remember this especially when you get to a campsite with your CDL engaged. When you start the car in the morning you will need to disengage it and then re-engage with the engine running to have TC and ABS.
By the way, when your TC is working, the little yellow light on the dash will come on, and you will hear it working too.

And TC in low range will still throw mud!

The torque in Low requires more effort to hold back but the TC is distributing the drive still...

Thanks Tombie - I was worried I had problems, but now it sounds like everything is fine

BTW, Bruce Davis runs his Davis Performance Landys business from the same location at Amaroo Park where his brother, John, and he ran John E Davis Motorworks.

After all these years I still have not found a situation where I didn't want the ETC to be active, including in soft sand.

I interupted the wire from the CDL switch on the transfercase with a switch on the dash. If you have CDL locked in and turn the Disco off, you can then use this switch when starting to keep the ETC active.
