Engine Traction System (ETS) (NW7)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Pontiac G5 and 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When drive wheel slip is noted while the brake is not applied, the electronic brake control module (EBCM) will enter traction control mode.
The EBCM requests the powertrain control module (PCM) to reduce the amount of torque to the drive wheels via GMLAN messages. The PCM reduces torque to the drive wheels by retarding spark timing and turning off fuel injectors. The PCM reports the amount torque delivered to the drive wheels via GMLAN messages.
