How can the system know you're spinning before it senses that your spinning? If you can invent a traction control/stability control/AWD system that knows something is going to happen before it does (aka knows the future) you will probably become a very rich person The reaction time of the system can be on the order of milliseconds, much quicker than you can realize you are in a spin. The system uses sensors to detect spin, then tries to compensate for it before it becomes a big issue.

 

What I mean is 30 mph on one wheel vs 5 mph on another wheel is a BIG difference. You are talking about one wheel spinning 5 times more than another before slippage is detected. That can't be right. I'd be shocked if it was that much.

 

Well, ok, I'll give that one to you, but it was just an example to illustrate a point. The real system probably has a threshold for the speed differential between the two wheels before it kicks in.

 

Where is the fuse you pulled and which one is it? I'm having the same type of problem but they said I need to replace the whole transfer case. So I need a quick fix until I can find a donor.
