Default Re: I'm keeping the traction control on for now on unless I'm the only one on the road.

A further example of the inconsistent application of the yaw control and t/c. On the way home last night I stopped at a stop sign and proceeded to take a right. I tapped,literally tapped, the throttle and the car was completely sideways wit the t/c on. There was a lot of loose sand. Now I tried to mimic the reaction by stomping on the gas with the wheel straight and the t/c kicked in immediately. Like you all said it may be the yaw control that is the problem( or not a problem if you like to get sideways). when I first had the vehicle I couldn't get it sideways and was looking for a way to do so but I proffered a way of turning it on and off. I considered adding a switch to the yaw controller as am told it is located under the center console and adding an in-line switch to the fuses for the t/c. It seems I won't need to. I will further investigate as to when the t/c and yaw seem to allow more sliding than others and report back.
