Default traction control questions.

Did not know were to post.

Can someone tell me if the 2005 -2009 mustang traction control works the same on a v6 and GT? The V6 doesn't have a LSD (right). So dose the TC kick in on one wheel at a time or both rear wheels equally ? Is it computer controlled ? If it is computer controlled dose any tuning program let you set the sensitivity of it?

If I'm not mistaken, traction control involves use of the rear brakes and dialing out some throttle. There's probably some strategy about when either or both of those methods are used, probably in the FSM (which I don't have on this computer).

I think that TC can be turned off with some tunes.
