TRACS FUNCTION:
This ties back to an earlier post where I cleaned all the ABS speed sensors and cleared codes etc.
The final check was to try test the TRACS (traction control) system. This morning wet conditions made for the perfect testing ground. A few U - turns later and a little bit of throttle proved the system works and everything is in order.
I could hear the ABS module pumping, trying to slow down the spinning wheel and it would regain traction
It's very crude and only works up to something like 40km/h but this would come about pretty quick if single spinning.
Turns out the switch on the dash must be turned on to activate TRACS. So off is the default setting. Unlike modern cars that are wrapped up in safety these days.
SUCCESS!!
