Electronic Brake Control Systems - Max-TRAC Traction Control System: Operation

When vehicle is driven normally, no ignition interrupts will occur if slippage does not exceed a predetermined value. If excessive acceleration and/or hard cornering reduces normal load on rear wheel, slippage can exceed predetermined amount. Controller compares sensor speed signals, determines excessive slippage has occured and generates an output signal which interrupts ignition. Result is reduction of engine power to a value required for maximum acceleration without excessive rear wheel slippage.
