For those wanting to do it the easy way without unhooking the battery and fooling around with the ABS module then using electrical tape to seal it back up.
here it is : located at the firewall passenger side is the traction control unit unplug the conector plug with the blue top, tie it off out of the way and your done,no traction control and easy to connect back up when needed :-)
May not be usable on all Commodores :- this has been used on a 2001 VX Clubsport and a 2004 series 2 VY SV8 LS1 without any error codes coming up not sure what other models this will suit.
Pretty sure your able to do this with all ls1 engines.
refer to pictures attached.

I would suggest AGAINST doing it this way for anyone. Also, this is only for Gen 3 engines. For the only way Holden supports disabling ETC for the V6 and V8's refer to: + VY How to disable Traction Control (ETC)
The connector pictured above is YE127. YE127 is the connector that connects the throttle relaxer to the Automatic Throttle Relaxer Module. This will not disable ETC properly, only knocks out the Automatic Throttle Relaxer motor. If it disables it it will be causing errors or the vehicle will be still retarding sparks but not having control over the throttle.
Doesn't have the cable in VY 04' series II commodore
Have been reading about disabling tc will try it
Im also after info on my vy ss it has many options factory leather seats
Extractors and i was trying to find out what sort
Of kilowatt i would have
i'm confused
if you have traction control then you have the button yeah? is it so hard to just push the button after starting the car ?
it's instead of having to push the button after starting the car each time.
permanently disabled, until plugged back in.
I would also prefer the single wire method, as if you're crafty enough, a relay and switch could be wired in as a traction control master switch.
