1998–2001 Cadillac Catera Auto Off Traction Control System Kit

The Auto Off TCS Kit was designed for GM vehicles using Traction Control Systems (TCS). After installation, this Auto Off TCS Kit provides the antilock brake system/traction control system with a ‘Turn Off’ signal 10 seconds after the ignition is turned On. This means the vehicle will start up with the TCS turned Off rather than the original turned On state. The Auto Off TCS Kit is very easily installed and does not require any original wiring to be cut. All wiring connections are completed using simple and effective wire taps with connectors.

Installation:
1. Locate Electronic Brake/Traction Control Module (EBTCM) found on the LH front of the engine compartment, mounted to the lower rail.
2. Referring to Figure 1, on the connectors attached to the EBTCM, identify the following wires:
Brown w/ Red Stripe on Pin D31
Black w/ Red Stripe on Pin 15
Black on Pin 16
3. Using a pair of pliers, install a wire tap supplied with the kit to each of these three wires.
4. With a volt meter or test lamp, verify the Black w/ Red Stripe slice to Black splice has 12 volts only when the ignition is turned ON.
5. Connect the Auto Off TCS Black wire connector to the wire tap on the Black wire.
6. Connect the Auto Off TCS White wire connector to the wire tap on the Brown with Red Stripe wire.
7. Connect the Auto Off TCS Pink wire connector to the wire tap on the Black w/ Red Stripe wire.
8. Tape all connections with electrical tape to prevent water/moisture from getting into the connections.
9. Secure the Auto TCS module with electrical tape or a zip tie.
10. This completes the installation.
