Hi all,
I have just purchased a Focus ST170. I noticed that the car has standard traction control which you can turn on and off. It also has a 'Brake Traction Control System' which is permantly on. This is not ESP, as that is another option on the car entirely.
Well, the traction control light came on for this Brake Traction Control system yesterday when I went over a rather bumpy potholed surface. Am I right to assume that its acting almost like a limited slip diff? By that I mean it is limiting one front wheel (FWD) from slipping by applying brakes to it. I would assume this is correct, and that the standard 'Traction Control' limits engine power to BOTH wheels in event of wheel spin?
Are my assumptions correct?
