I think I’m understanding that correctly. My question is wondering if the CDL is locked, causing one of the front tires to skid when turning corners, making the Traction Control light come on.

 

I wonder how the TC knows the difference between turning a corner or a real loss of traction? in both cases wheel rpm is different. Meanwhile I learned the toe spec is 10' OUT! this affects the relative wheel rpm while turning.....so I adjusted from about 10' toe in to 8' toe out and now the TC only comes on in RH turns. So maybe I'm on to something

 

There would be a tolerance limit in the TC algorithm, probably based on inputs from a number of sensors such as average vehicle speed, engine speed, transmission gear, transfer case range, etc. If you think about it TC is just anti-lock brakes in the opposite cases.

 

yeah, i'm trying to postulate which sensor is bad based on TC activating only on right turns. actually, i need to figure out which brake is being applied because that is the side it thinks is spinning too fast...and it seems likely its the opposite sensor
