Ducky,
Although it would be nice to be able to take the factory switch and plug it into the appropriate receptacle somewhere under the dash - I think we stand a slim chance of this happening. If it works out to be plug-n-play - great. If not, I'm hoping we can make use of the TRAC OFF switch to simply interrupt one or more of the wires going to the pressure switch I pulled. Effectively making it an on/off switch.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh I am very aware of the chances... But Im hoping for Toyota to be cheap and only made 1 VSC ECU for all models so they could reuse the batch, not create 2 different ones for the 2wd and 4wd... and even the diagram shows it on the same diagram as the 4wd, of course they could be "saving paper" but who knows, none of us will really know till we trace the wires and take a gander at it. (and yes I know that's what your getting at lol)

Yep, get to ganderin'. I already pledged that I'd buy that damn TRAC OFF switch for you! And it will smell like VANILLA!
