Let me clarify, I have to disable the traction control by tapping it once AND put the tranny in "1" in order to prevent this. I'm thinking that the tranny position somehow disables the "engine power" aspect of the system.
Something must be wrong, because the Owner's manual says that a momentary tap on the switch should disable engine traction control and still leave braking traction control regardless of whether you are in 2wd, 4Auto or 4H. It doesn't say anything about having to be in 1st. Engine traction control is automatically disabled in 4L.
