This may help:

ESC = Electronic Stability Control

4WD Vehicles
  • With the transfer case in 2H, pressing the stability control-traction switch for less than 1 second disables engine only traction control, trailer sway control and ESC .
  • With the transfer case in 2H, pressing the stability control-traction switch for more than 5 seconds disables engine only traction control, brake traction control and trailer sway control.
  • With the transfer case in 4H, pressing the stability control-traction switch for less than 1 second disables engine only traction control, trailer sway control and ESC .
  • With the transfer case in 4H, pressing the stability control-traction switch for more than 5 seconds disables engine only traction control, brake traction control and trailer sway control.
  • With the transfer case in 4L, ESC is automatically disabled without pressing the stability control-traction switch.
  • With the transfer case in 4L, pressing the stability control-traction switch for more than 5 seconds disables engine only traction control, brake traction control and trailer sway control.
On vehicles equipped with a locking rear differential, engine only and brake traction control are automatically disabled when the rear differential is locked.


Sand Mode (add)
The US Version Rangers have the option of having Terrain Mgmt.
This adds a small pushbutton switch to (our version) style of the 4WD switch assembly
The programming is already there and all that is required is to use Forscan to add the switch functionality (Selectable Drive Mode) and (Off Road Screen) in the IPC Module

Our Switch Styles

The switch assembly is plug and play (with the added Forscan Changes)
and it gives the Ranger This



Terrain Management System

The rotary switch on the ATCM allows the driver to select between 4 modes; normal, snow / mud / grass, sand or rock. These driving modes alter throttle response, transmission shift patterns, EPAS feel and stability control intervention thresholds. Rotating the switch to a specific mode sends a signal to the BCM , the module then sends a message to the GWM over the HS-CAN1 , and the GWM relays this message to the ABS module over the HS-CAN2 . The BCM also sends a message to the PCM , PSCM , and TCM .

Some drive modes reduce traction and stability control performance and the stability-traction control warning indicator illuminates in the instrument cluster.

  • Normal: This mode is for on-road conditions and should be used on surfaces which are similar to hard road surfaces, or once the need for any of the off-road modes has passed.
  • Snow / Mud / Grass: This mode should be used where a firm surface is covered with loose or slippery material. This includes gravel, shallow mud, wet grass or snow covered road. This mode is not available when the transfer case is in 4L.
  • Sand: This mode should be used for crossing deep sand or deep sticky mud. This mode is not available when the transfer case is in 4L.
  • Rock: This mode gives low speed controllability for crawling over rocks. This mode is only available when the transfer case is in 4L.

If you have a switch like this, then it needs more research as from what I understand (so far) the switch for the (TM) is in another location. As of now I do not know where that is.

However, if you have the switch like posted (previously) then Dealer or Ebay - and as long as the As-Built files are the same as the US Version Rangers, just swap the switches and add the IPC Screen (Forscan Change) and it works.

I know it has been previously asked for the (ROW) Rangers (Non-US Versions) for this and so so I do not see anyone who has been successful (yet) as this requires a different switch assembly and possibly other Forscan changes.
