Disabling stock power steering pressure function

Hey guys, had an S300 for a week or two now, and loving it heaps :)

I've had a pretty thorough hunt through the SManager software but can't seem to find anything relating to disabling the stock idle up function of the power steering pressure switch. Is there anyway to actually do this?

Any help would be appreciated :)

Cheers.

Sorry, it currently can't be disabled. What problem is it causing?

Ahh pooh.

It's causing some 'crappy idling issues' and very low speed (1st gear, clutch out & coasting) instability. (the idle jumps around the place)
I guess I'll have to look at putting in a dash switch or something to dis/enable the clutch switch.

Thanks :)

The clutch switch has nothing to do with the power steering.

It does when the clutch switch is plugged into the power steering pressure switch plug.

Power steering replaced with manual rack, freed up the PSP switch plug. I've used that for the launch control/FTS.

So every time I get on/off the clutch I get the stock idle up/down happening as if I'd just turned full lock (or whatever the stock function used to do)

Um, 'it' could be lots of things, but I'm going to assume you mean the power steering pressure switch/plug.
If I'm plugging my LC/FTS into the plug removing it (the PSPS) would be a dumb idea. Cause then my LC/FTS won't work.

I've pretty much resigned myself to having a dash switch as previously mentioned. I've tested that this will work by simply unplugging my clutch switch, the idle has settled down and gone back to how it used to behave.

Yes a switch is the only way to solve this problem if you dont want to diconnect the wire all the time. Annoying!
