traction control

RE: traction control
Definition: An enhancement of an existing ABS system that prevents wheel spin while accelerating on wet or slick surfaces. It uses the same wheel speed sensors to monitor wheel speed during acceleration, but requires some additional control solenoids and a pump to apply braking pressure to control wheel spin. The traction control system brakes the drive wheel that's starting to spin to shift torque to the opposite drive wheel that still has traction. Most traction control systems only operate at speeds up to about 30 mph. Additional control strategies that some traction control systems use to limit wheel spin include reducing the throttle opening, upshifting the transmission, retarding spark timing and deactivating fuel injectors.
WOW..that sounds like what I said[:-]

I guess you didn't read the part of your own cut and paste that said "MOST SYSTEMS"
The traction control on a mustang is not nearly as advanced as what that article describes. Sure Audi uses a system that can apply power to individual wheels and the lincold system is a little more advanced but we are talking about mustangs, specifically. y'know, cuz it's a mustang site and all.
The mustang traction control system works as I described in my earlier post....and like I said, it uses the same sensors as the ABS system. That's why they come as a package.
Thanks Shane. This was fun.
EDIT: by the way, our traction control systems work well beyond 30 mph as well. LOL.
