Not exactly completely correct. You can but you need to do it the procedure under TSC and ABS operation system perimeters. However, there is no temporary on / off You can turn it off for that drive cycle period or permanently disabling it. The other option is you can install an aftermarket on/off switch, but this is not DIY friendly and requires knowledge of changes on board CPU programing, so you don't get a DTC check engine light or other cautionary system lights.

But like other members I still can't find why Mazda made the mentioned model and year with no on/off switch control????

Thank you to everyone. I know I was long time lurker, first time poster. I did read up everywhere and read the RTFM which the other poster was correct in saying that it is in there but really there is nothing in my car I could do.
Little history as I have been an "American" car buyer all my life. I got tired of trusting any of the brands I drove and got tired of playing shade tree mechanic every weekend.
I researched all the brands and came up with Mazda as it was a good price and the reliability. My daughter also finally got rid of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, I know stellantis sux Chevy ,Ford and Gmc I have had all the problems.
She bought a Cx-5 PP. I was hoping for something bigger as my Ram croaked. The CX70 and CX90 I researched had to many growing pains in its initial years . So I also settled for the NA CX-5 PP.
After getting stuck in the snow at my residence is where my frustration took over with traction control. So when I got to work I researched the living daylights offf of it to ad nauseam. I figured this forum was the place to really find out the true answer and to finally put this to bed before I stupidly get stuck again.

You are in the right place for sure. This a great forum to collect information and there are lots of good folks here. It is very strange Mazda would decide to eliminate the TCS on/off button. I wonder if this will carry over to the new 26 model as well.
