dule Donating Members 1,180 Member For: 18y 26d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 29/09/11 04:07 AM Share Posted 29/09/11 04:07 AM The car CAN NOT overpower the traction control if tuned properly, traction control controls the throttle too amongst many other things and if you're being an idiot and keep the boot in it will close the throttle appropriately so no amount of boost should over power it. That's the way I understand it anyway...How much power are all of you with this problem running?

Im gueesing it's the tuners preference as to how they set it. Micks left mine working which is great for a manual ute in wet weather.

Tractions control uses the braking system to reduce wheel spin.Torque management use Spark retard, Fuel Cut and ETC to control engine torque Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77017-traction-control/page/4/#findComment-1144866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 9m 11d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 29/09/11 04:21 AM Share Posted 29/09/11 04:21 AM Ratter has responded to this in the Ford Forums.http://fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11322160Seems like a relatively normal thing.. Makes sense to me that it'd shut it down instead of attempting to control wheel spin under WOT.

I've gotta admit I've been contemplating getting rid of mine.. It's a bit dusty but I'm sure someone could use it :biglaugh:Anyways back on topic.This traction control issue actually sounds like your cars are overpowering the ability of the traction control system so the car is shutting it down to protect the drivetrain.If you're giving it the boot so much why do you want traction control on?????I don't give mine the boot a lot only now and then but it just becomes frustrating to know I can't turn it back on !

dule Donating Members 1,180 Member For: 18y 26d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 29/09/11 05:01 AM Share Posted 29/09/11 05:01 AM Speak to your tuner and see if he can sort it out...If it was my car I'd want it functioning properly for just in case but when you want to play turn it off.I've got 270kw and no matter what you do it will not turn off so with another 40kw it should not be just turning off at first sign of wheel spin.

Or would be happening if the TC wasn't there (flashing).Never had mine stay lit after it engages though (only stay lit when I hold button to disable) and I've given it hell when stock or tuned.

I'm Irish and I'm not the dumbass who couldn't figure out that traction control (a safety feature) is turned on as standard.Further more of course the light is on when traction control is off. that's why there called warning lights!
