Default 2005 traction control question

I've searched but I have not found a clear answer.
2005 with 6 speed.
Pressing the the TC button turns it TC off. Pressing it again turns it on. Is there a competition mode where both TC and AH are off?
I've tried pressing it again within 5 seconds and I've tried pressing and holding it. And all the combinations.
All I get is TC on and off.

That's what I thought should happen after reading up on it.

Pull codes, since there is something going on that is keeping you out of comp mode, off all mode.

any ideas?

Need to pull codes with a Tech II, or some other scanner that can get down to those code levels. Hence basic scanner will not pull codes at either the body level, or the ABS level.
