7. Program the maximum timing it's allowed to pull and percentage of ignition cut the ECU can perform.

8. Program the minimum slip you want the ECU to react to for traction control. 

9. Program the minimum engine RPM and vehicle speed the traction control can react within.

10. Choose whether you want the traction control to turn off after a certain speed on a gear change, or if you want to delay the activation of traction control by time.

11. Select how you want to select your slip target if you are using more than 1 slip table for different gears or different levels of aggressiveness. 

12. Choose how you want to enable the traction control.

13. Make sure you have the traction control turned off and make a pass with your new wheel speed sensors. Then look at your log and find the channel wheel slip.

15. Make a pass and adjust the settings if necessary.
