Traction Control System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Fiesta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The traction control system aids in the prevention of excessive wheel spin which allows the vehicle to maintain traction during acceleration. This is accomplished in the same manner as anti-lock braking (brake traction control) but also includes using the PCM for modulating engine torque (engine traction control). The traction control system can be disabled by the driver through the message center. The system will remain disabled until the driver enables it through the message center or until the ignition is cycled to OFF and back to RUN.
