What is Traction Control?
 

What exactly is Traction Control? I know it's not Limited slip. And Yes I got underhood lights and footwell lights too. Just got this from JEEP - I requested a build sheet. It took 12 hours.:clap::clap::ya: Build date 6/06 at 08:47. Purchased in Oct. '06.
Also - not sure what Painted front bumper is. I have a Sahara - it has painted Fenders not Painted Bumpers.
Front bumper getting stubbied as we speak - as well as fender mod.

Hello - anyone out there? Input required. :thinking:

A traction control system (TCS), also known as Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), on current production vehicles, are typically (but not necessarily) electro-hydraulic systems, designed to prevent loss of traction of the driven road wheels, and therefore the control of the vehicle, when excessive throttle is applied by the driver, and the condition of the road surface (due to varying factors) is unable to cope with the torque applied. Although similar to electronic stability control (ESC) systems, traction control systems do not have the same goal.

The intervention can consist of any, or all, of the following:

Retard or suppress the spark to one or more cylinders
Reduce fuel supply to one or more cylinders
Brake one or more wheels
Close the throttle, if the vehicle is fitted with drive by wire throttle.
In turbo-charged vehicles, the boost control solenoid can be actuated to reduce boost and therefore engine power.
Typically, the traction control system shares the electro-hydraulic brake actuator (but does not use the conventional master cylinder and servo), and the wheel speed sensors with the anti-lock braking system.


That's what Wikipedia has to say about it.

is our traction control the esp :dontknow2:

no, esp (electronic stability program not extra sensory perception) is a seperate system from traction control, although they work together to achive the same goal (keeping you on the road wheels down)

that being said, there are a couple of times I thought my esp, had esp
