Traction Control Error

[Nick Campagna]

1998 Continental, 4 cam motor. The car runs for a few (5-20)min,then shuts off with a Traction Control error. Pulled the fuse for the TC, but it doesn't help. A new TC module is $1400 but back ordered at Ford. I need help as to how to take the TC out of the system, and where to jumper what at a plug to stop the problem.
Thanks,
Nick Campagna

Nick, The traction control unit is mounted right on top of throttle body. There is 2 large butterflys that are controled by the traction control. The traction control motor is mounted rear of butterflys. When engine is running these butterflys stay open, as soon as wheel spin is detected the butterflys shut quickly and reopen over and over until wheel spin stops. Your system must be shutting the butterflys and not reopening them. If you want to fix cheap you could remove the butterflys somehow you see fit.
