Hi All,
My 1992 Toyota Soarer has built in traction control and there is no way to disable it,will an aftermarket computer fix that?

Really? A TT does not have the TRC button? I thought all Soarers did. Someone enlighten me please?

If your car has traction control, it should have a button above your shifter to turn it off and is labelled 'TRC OFF.'

A few ways you can confirm if you have traction control is by looking at one of these following places:
1: Obviously look for the 'TRC OFF' button.
2: A 'TRC' light will show next to your speed on the dash whenever TRC is 'engaged' as in TRC comes into effect.
3: Press the scroll button if you have this feature, and it will cycle through a few computers and I'm pretty certain TRC is amongst one of them.
4: Your throttle body should have a TRC label.

If you don't have the button but can confirm the other 3, then your shifter surround has probably been changed. Therefore change it back and you turn it off.

POV back has optional traction control from what I've heard.

Maybe his car had a new engine put in which has TRC whereas his original engine did not, explaining the lack of a TRC button? :-)

thats a fair call Vinh but you would need the trc ecu to run it though? and even if they did provide the ecu, they wouldve made sure to include the button as well..

Check for the TRC fuse in the engine fuse housing.

You never know Ali. There are those kind of mechanics out there who don't know Soarers as well as we do.
