Default Traction Control

I have seen on these forums that traction control dose not exists on AU XR8 but my Ute when you disconnect the abs module a traction control light comes up on the dash and the car takes off a lot harder with the abs disconnected

I have LSD and Traction control (AU3 Fairmont Ghia).

Not an XR8 but it has both systems.

By the way Traction control is a pain in the .... Not worth having.

I do have a switch to turn it on or off. Factory setting is always on, I have had mine setup for always off (Can be turned on via the switch).
