What does this do?
Hi everyone, i've tried searching but couldn't find anything on it.

I serviced my vehicle today myself and had to reset the service reminder. One of the options was "Dynomomtr Test ESC" It currently says "Off When Engine Is Off" but i can enable it to turn on.


Any one knows what it does?

I"ll post up pictures later today.

"Dyno" mode disables anti-lock brakes and traction control (completely).

It is designed to provide accurate data on a DYNO and defeats all the safety measures/driving aids.
Definitely not recommended for driving on the street.
