Though it is said that drivers are extremely good in detecting wheel spin, traction control is an electronic device that speeds up the process of reducing engine power.

When traveling in a straight line, where one wheel starts to slip (and spin faster than the wheel with traction), torque is reduced to the slipping wheel (Trq 2) and provided to the slower wheel (Trq 1).

In some cases, and especially with the high power today's F1 engines deliver, more torque is given to the wheels causing the wheels to spin and hence reducing acceleration.

In Formula One, wheel spin is reduced by cutting the engine power.

That switch also controls a snow mode, reducing torque to the rear wheels to limit wheel spin in slippery conditions.

This allows the system to immediately divert power to the rear wheels when starting, thus reducing the risk of the front wheels spinning.

Conceived to reduce understeer and increase cornering grip by preventing the inside wheel from spinning during hard or early acceleration, the clever LSD has until now been reserved for Ford's larger, more expensive Focus RS LE hot hatch.

Measured rotating weights bolted to engines counter offending harmonics, largely replaced by clever active engine mountings / bushings Balanced crank: Usually done for race prepped engines to reduce the strain on the rotating components and their bearings when spinning at up to 19,000 rpm where a couple of grams turn into kilogrammes at such high rpms Balancer tube: A connection between intake manifoilds of the two banks of a V - type engine to even out pressure of cancel harmonics Bi-Turbo: Term coined to describe an endine with two turbochargers Brake Force Distribution: also called electronic brake force distribution where the ABS first attempts to divert pressure to the wheels that are not locked - up before intervening with its pulsating anti-lock strategy Brake Disc: Or Disc Brake, an aeronautic technology adapted for automotive use to replace the drum brake.

So when TCS senses drive - wheel spin, it responds by helping reduce throttle, which helps you both regain grip and maintain control.

While traction control keeps the rear wheels from spinning when they lose traction — don't worry, you can turn it off for dramatic, rubber - burning starts — stability control improves safety further by reducing power and applying the brakes to any given wheel, keeping the car from spinning out of control.

The engine's power and 390 pound - feet of torque are kept useful by Infiniti's vehicle dynamic - control (VDC) and traction - control systems, which can both brake spinning wheels and reduce engine output to regain traction.
