Default TCS?

What exactly does turning the Traction Control System off on your car do? Probably sounds dumb, but I am new at this.

Start your car, punch the gas with traction control on. Turn traction control off and do the same thing. Now you know!

Glad I could help!

TCS, Traction Control System

TCS uses the ABS system to apply the breaks to a wheel when it detects that it is slipping, it will also cut the throttle.

Yeah my traction control system never seems to kick in. Even when I run the system check it says TCS is OK, but the little TCS light never comes on and I break my tires loose just as easy with it on or off.....so whatever, it makes driving in the rain with my mods fun.

I don't see a tune in your sig but with LTs and a CAI I assume you have one. Um, some tunes are set to automatically turn your TCS off and leave it off at all times.
