The only time traction control should be turned of ,is if you're stuck in snow or wet mud..where you have to move backwards and forwards in rapid succession to get out of those situations..Otherwise your traction control should remain in the on postion.As it stabilizes the vehicle during hard stops and sharp turns and in slippery conditions on wet pavements.

You must also turn the traction control off to do a burnout before a drag race. He makes a great point about turning it off when you are stuck in snow or mud. Well done!

Why do I watch this? I don't even have a car. Well, another piece of knowledge added to the brain at least

Depending on the vehicle there can be up to 8 software programs living in the ABS module. ABS -Prevents any wheel from locking while braking Traction control - reduces engine power when a drive wheel begins to spin Roll over mitigation - if a car is up on 2 wheels (rolling over) it locks up the wheels that are on the ground causing them to lose traction allowing the vehicle to fall back on 4 wheels stability control - corrects oversteer by locking up the rear inside wheel corrects understeer by locking rear outside wheel (or any combination to correct the maneuver) Traction enhancement - some AWD models do not have limited slip differentials, instead they use the ABS module to apply braking to the wheel that is spinning thus giving the effect of limited slip crash detection - will apply brakes if it detects an obstruction ahead drift mitigation - if the car is drifting on a turn it will reduce engine power and engage stability control algorithm trailer sway mitigation - if you have a trailer improperly loaded and it goes into a death wobble (scary situation) ABS will detect this in the steering angle sensor and engage an algorithm to correct it. rollback mitigation - with a manual transmission the brakes will stay applied for a few seconds when taking off on a hill ( so you dont roll back while engaging the clutch

One time I was doing a pull on one of my main streets and it was rainy and I hit a patch of water and the traction control light came on and I felt it in the tires - not loss of control but I was on a layer and it caused my tires to lose traction for a second (in the straight line) but yeah I’m grateful. I’m very grateful for traction control off too because drifting is very very fun

Thank u for this. Recently I got stuck in the mud and it helped to turn the traction off to get out of the mess.

Nicely done. Two additional comments: 1) Traction control works differently in different vehicles-- the cheapest versions just use your brakes (often only available at lower speeds), while more sophisticated systems moderate power output or power distribution to other wheels. 2) In sports cars, expert drivers can get faster acceleration with Traction control off.

I love when I find the exact video I needed, simple and to the point. Thank you.

Me, as a daily driver in Sweden, TRC is kind of useful utility to drive safely! It activates when you turn right or left while the wheels is sliding!

I have a 2011 Camry LE, I live in a area with some mountains. FWD & Traction control together with good tires gets me home every time. I am on my second set of Goodyear Assurance all season tires. All you have to do is have a slow foot on the pedals and you sorta putt-putt through the rough spots. But when it gets real bad, with FWD you rock the steering wheel back and forth. This allows your tires to bite into the snow. The Camry is a champ ! I love sedans.

Thanks for this information Great help perfectly explained thanks!

Also if you want an immediate pick up from halt (especially in automatic vehicles) you need to turn off traction control.

Turn it off if a long upward grade is involved - even a slight grade. Having "Traction Control" drop the engine speed back to zero when you're halfway up the hill does NOT get you to the top! That's a place where controlled wheel spin (controlled by the driver) is more useful than having the "smart" technology stop the vehicle and then try to start up again when halfway up the hill. Been there, done that, on a 200 yard long path uphill through a pasture (hill + wet grass) from an outdoor wedding that didn't quite get rained out. Tried it with TC on twice (2012 Highlander with 6 speed automatic) and TC FAILED MISERABLY both times, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop halfway up the hill. Turned TC off and took yet another clear path up the grade and did fine with me controlling the amount of wheel spin - yes, that's an art, and it's learned from driving manual transmission vehicles on roads covered with black ice. TC might be OK for inexperienced drivers trying to get started on snow/ice - but anyone who needs that kind of help shouldn't be driving an unstoppable vehicle - and they're not experienced enough to know how long that next stop will take.

Good presentation. It’s worth noting that it’s estimated that most US drivers are not aware of these features in their cars let alone their purpose. The oversteer and understeer terms will draw a blank look from a driver when asked about them. Lastly, without traction between wheels and road surface, also known as tire energy levels, none of these items will work and since Average Joe/Jane pays zero attention to the speedometer, loss of control fatal crashes continue to rise. Driving above 65 mph on any road is the direct cause of fatal crashes specially in other than dry surfaces, with half or less worn tires and brakes. ABS, traction control, stability control features have been standard for many years on vehicles yet the rate of crashes has not diminished. Something to think about before heading out anywhere at 80 mph. Be well.

I live near the coast and spent a week in the Smoky Mountains a few months ago. I got stuck going up a steep incline in a heavy rain. Got about halfway up the road and started spinning tires. Had no idea why as all week long we got up the hill with no issue (you did have to give it lots of gas to keep your car's momentum going to the top). I was positive that the wet roads wouldn't cause the car to fail so bad. Other cars were going up like it was nothing. I was able to back the car back down the road and back it into a driveway, turn it around and then face downhill to park the car at the bottom of the hill to see what was going on and to change my underwear. Then going downhill the brakes felt really mushy and steering was very stiff. Not cool. Called a tow truck to get me down. Found out by the tow company that having traction control turned ON probably was the main culprit to all of this. He told me to turn it OFF, then try going back up the hill as he followed in case I got stuck again. I turned it off, hit the gas and went right on up with no issue. Much more power to the wheels and no spinning either.

Thank you. Very helpful.😁👍

Even if you aren’t stuck in the snow but need to traverse deep snow you must have the traction control off. If not the computer will actually apply the brakes while you are trying to increase power to get you through the snow. It feels like the vehicle has actually lost power and there is something wrong with the engine. I’m sure this is the same as when you are in deep mud, sand or experiencing wheel slippage in rough terrain. My experience is in deep snow in Wyoming. That’s why when you lock your 4 wheel drive system into low range, it automatically disables traction control.

Just depends on the make because Land Rover is the opposite in low range it just grabs the spinning wheel and makes the open differential become like a locked differential so that the wheel not spinning gets grip and moves you immediately.

Common sense is ALWAYS important when driving. What about when some stupid jackals pulls a maneuver that forces you to pull off a defense that is hand-of-God kind of thing? My Highlander is faster than my reflexes which are still very good despite my age.

Use traction control if you are not familiar with driving during inclement weather, stay in slow lane or stay home for everyone’s safety. Common sense is not common anymore we are spoon fed everything, maybe we need an “app” for that too! Where we learned to drive we did not see pavement for 4 months of the year.

It's the ABS that really bothers me though. The last time I had it engage was when I was trying to brake on some black ice, very low speeds and I was rolling towards the car in front of me. As I try to brake (and at that speed I wanted the wheels to lock frankly) the ABS was tapping the brakes instead of fully braking like my input was asking for. The result was that I continued towards the truck stopped in front of me - wheels rolling. Thankfully I managed to pull the parking brake in time and that caused the wheels to lock and actually stopped the vehicle before hitting the truck, but if I had allowed the ABS to do it's thing I would have had a fender bender for sure. I can't stress how low speed we're talking here. Literally like 15km/h MAYBE. So for the ABS to prevent wheel lock was just stupid. It wasn't the ice that was gonna cause me to hit the car in front of me (cause I knew the road was slippery and had reduced my speed accordingly), it would have been because of the ABS throwing me a curve ball and deciding for me that I wasn't gonna get full brakes. It's lead me to believe that the driver assists (on my car anyways) are untrustworthy and that I should have em turned off all the time. Since I started turning off the traction control, it seems like I accelerate more immediately, but I could be imagining that I dunno. Is the traction control doing more subtle things that don't cause it to turn the light on? Cause I've seen the light come on when I accelerate from a stop on some ice or dirt or whatever (and felt it override my throttle input and do the tap tap thing - honestly I don't even think it helps much, I'd almost prefer to just get a little bit of wheelspin before finding the traction). And in general these driver assists seem to be an unpredictable factor that doesn't necessarily male driving safer. I can tell when I'm losing traction or when I need to adjust the way I brake to prevent wheelock from causing me to lose control. The way the car reacts to my inputs on any given road condition is predictable and I can make the adjustments I need to so as to maintain control. But when these driver assists engage it's always been jarring and confusing and makes me less able to react - cause now I don't know what throttle or braking is gonna do, cause I don't know what the driver assist computer is thinking or how its gonna interpret my inputs. Much scarier to have your control taken away by the car itself than it is to slide a bit, or lose traction for a bit, or whatever.

ABS utilizes static friction and will always stop shorter than locked wheels. It also allows you to steer while breaking when locked wheels will not.

Dear Frankly. It is completely wrong to lock brakes on ice/snow. The correct technique is to pump the brake pedal. Used to have an office over looking a main road. Was entertaining watching the Southerners experience their first Rocky Mountain winter collision by doing what you wanted to do. Lock brakes and white knuckle to impact.

Thanks for this.
