SANTAFE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH
Hi,
I have an idea i wanted to run past you guys. I have a 2005 Santa Fe GLS AWD. I am concerned that I will have trouble this winter getting up my long, steep, snow filled, Connecticut driveway with the traction control turned on. ( this is due to experience with a Chevy Uplander this past winter, worst vehicle in the snow I have ever driven. I had to turn off traction control on the uplander to even hope to get up the drive). Anyway I understand that the Santa Fe Limited comes with a switch to turn off the traction control, while the gls doesn't. What are the chances that I can order a switch and panel from my local Hyundai dealer and replace the blank panel next to the driving light switch with the new switch and panel? (I'm guessing that the wiring harness will have a connector for the switch..... Is the proper circuitry already there? is a switch all I need? Thanks, Bill |
Re: SANTAFE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH
I just checked and couldn't find the schematic for traction control. I'm
not familiar enough to know which Santa Fe's even have traction. I'll repost when I do some more checking. |

Re: SANTAFE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH
Okay, I've located a schematic. Turns out the 3.5 has the switch and the
2.7 and 2.4 don't. I'd suspect the wiring for the switch isn't even there. The wiring from the control unit to the cluster is different depending on whether the vehicle has 2.7 or 3.5, leading me to believe there was no attempt to make the harnesses the same. Even so, this point is probably moot because the control modules are different also, meaning that the control module on the 2.7 probably doesn't even expect to see an on/off toggle. |

Ahhhhh, my great idea has been smashed.... I didn't realize the
difference was engine size, thanks for the fast info. I appreciate it. Bill hyundaitech wrote: > Okay, I've located a schematic. Turns out the 3.5 has the switch and the > 2.7 and 2.4 don't.

Re: SANTAFE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH
Bill,
I wouldn't worry too much. My Santy has been absolutely perfect in ice and snow. I was able to negotiate some icy streets in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia (think San Francisco with real narrow streets) last winter that I would never have attempted in my previous front-wheel drive cars.

Re: SANTAFE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH
Actually, that was a pretty dumb response. I have no idea how steep your
driveway is or how much snow you are talking about. I was able to drive up a twisty unplowed street that is a 12% grade at its worst in about 7 inches of fresh snow.
