Can anyone shed some light to what traction control actually does.
Off the mark & in the wet of course,if the traction control is on or off my car still goes side ways. I chased up Holden today to check if it's working & they are saying I don't have stability control to stop from going side ways, I only traction control which apparently cuts off power to the rear wheels.

I still get my car sideways in the wet, i try not to. It reduces power the wheel that doesn't have traction & applies it to the one that does.
What i found if i was to turn left or right out of a street & gave it some stick, i can feel the back end step out but also feel the car lurch abit aswell & the whole car would become strait again.

Mate of mine whos got a parliament house Berlina always turns his traction control off. Says he gets a smoother ride from it as the control kicks in too soon, even before the wheels start spinning. I sometimes take mine off and I do notice a little better acceleration.

I thought all VY's have T/C... I might be wrong yet I thought it was across the board.

I find traction control in the wet a godsend. my vy berlina starts spinning it up when i give it moderate acceleration when wet, traction control cuts out the power going to the wheels.

During the dry times, its annoying when merging with heavy traffic from a standstill, you give it some stick and the power cuts out. by the time u get going again, theres a car doing 70km/h up ur tail
