MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Ian, TC has many functions, braking one or more wheels is one of them… Useful info here… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJsickboy Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I am pretty sure with the Zed the TC is ignition cut and the DSC uses that and braking individual wheels where needed... both are crap IMO, too eratic and inconsistant. The DSC has nearly had me off when I beat it corrrecting a slide before the TC kicked in. I am sure someone who knows beter will be along soon with a more definitave answer..

Chris`I Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm with DJsickboy. Thats what I've heard before. TC is ignition cut and ESP uses brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Cheers guys, the reason I ask is I have noticed the rear brakes have began to smell after driving for the last couple of days. It must be the ESP correcting my snow wheelspins. Just found this, quite interesting actually. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/nissan-350z-design3.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly it's a legal requirement in the US after some idiot successfully sued after they had a tyre blow out. The cause was found to be incorrect tyre pressures but the idiot managed to win the case because there was no warning system to tell him the tyre pressures were incorrect..... Bloody yanks....
