How traction control works?
How does traction control work on mustang? When traction loss is detected, what is being adjusted? (timing, fuel, etc?)

retards timing... if still wheelspin it'll pull fuel.... worst case it'll apply brakes to the spinning wheel(s)

from what i understand it adjusts throttle input and applies braking force to slow the wheels to have maximum traction.

nope, it pulls timing and fuel too. Pulling fuel is the reason I didn't want to have it work at all, so it got shot off with my tune.

Kinda like running lean, which can burn up your engine, after so long.
