2006 Jeep Liberty


Question Posted Monday April 24 2006, 4:48 pm

Hey man..

I was reading other questions and noticed that you sure as hell know cars...

I just got a 2006 Jeep Liberty, base model, 3.7 liter V6. Rear Wheel drive..4 Speed Automatic (Yeah automatic sucks, i know..)

I am having trouble spinning the back tires. I have read many forums and articles online and can't find any information about it. One of my buddies said that it probably has something to do with computer programming or something like that..not sure...

Please help!! thanks
Jason

you could have ESP, or TCS, or ESC, or any of the other myriad of names in the end it's simply traction control. it's an electronic devices tha regulates the amount of acceleration going to the wheels at all times. it is helpful in some cases especially when climbing an icy hill or on a slick road in general so that you retain grip and control. but i and most other car people will agree that it's not truly driving the car. now on some cars there are ways to turn it off and ways to make it stop. ferrari's for example have a switch on the steering wheel that allows a driver to turn the traction control off or adjust it for various settings. but you're not in a ferrari you're in a jeep. i am not sure if there is a switch anywhere on the vehicle that would turn it off. especially being that it's the rear drive and not the 4 wheel drive one i'd assume chrysler simply built the thing to carry people safely not for anything high performance. your best bet would be to sit idling and just mash on the gas as hard as you can. it works in most automatics to get the tires spinning but if you have traction control it's most likely not going to do much more than get your RPM's up and give you a quicker takeoff.
