DIY Yaw Sensor rocker switch

steve_ · 06-14-2018, 03:31 AM

Can anyone tell me if this will let me stand on the brake and do a standing burnout for the drag strip, there are so many posts of people that do this mod and they say they don't know , not sure, haven't tried it blahh blahh , so who can say for sure yes or no that I can do a standing burnout with the brakes?

Unsure; as I added line-loc to mine also...didn’t want to fry the rear brakes.

A yaw switch will not allow standing burnouts; you need to pull the stop light fuse. There is also at least one DIY on how to install a switch to accomplish the same thing (breaks the brake-lights-are-on signal to ECM).

The other option is the throttle hijack feature from Ecutek.

I just got mine working, and the software changes to the ECU will now allow me to burn rubber with the brake on as far and as long as I want.

My yaw sensor has been disabled for years. That had zero impact on burnout capability.

What actually happens in your case, is that the throttles will be closed, if the ECU sees the brake switch on and the gas pedal voltage high. This effectively prevents the driver from pressing the brake and gas pedal at the same time. The yaw sensor is not an input in this case.

Ok thanks guys , it looks like I'll have to get the arc add on to my up rev tune then to enable burnout mode

When switching off traction control and the installed yaw switch does the ABS light also come on, effectively shutting off ABS too?

No. You can cut the power to the yaw sensor and still retain functional ABS.

Descriptions, drawings, schematics, etc are in the FSM (link in my sig).

Not that you shouldn't believe Gomer_110 (he gives good answers), but:
1) Everyone here is just Some Guy On The Intertubes.
2) The FSM is a great resource for anyone that does their own work on a Z.

I have the FSM; however, as we all know it simply doesn't tell the experiences of others when it comes to modding factory systems. IMO it's useless in my query.

Most of the time at least.

It would tell you that the yaw sensor was not involved in the ABS system.

But, yeah, it's good to get confirmation from other members.

So that green wire is a pain in the *** to get to. Would it seem smart to insert two posi tap to the wire at both ends, then extend the wire to an on off switch. After that, just cut the wire in between the two posi tap?

jchammond · 01-21-2019, 10:18 PM

Pic of TC turned off & 2nd picis with Yaw sensor(green wire)open.

I called it my “Drift Switch” & didn’t bother with TC switch after adding yaw disconnect switch.
Never played with ABS to see how they performed while yaw was disabled.
Good to know they work

What's that D symbol in the gear shift display?

D is for “Drift”
