traction control

I've noticed a surging feeling lately during hard acceleration. Typically in 1st and 2nd gear. To me it feels almost as if traction control is cutting power so the wheels don't spin. I'm in the habit of turning off TC as soon as I start the car, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. I noticed it...

Last night I took off from a stop, went to third gear like normal and then took it out of gear to coast. As soon as I took it out of gear the traction control light came on and the computer hit the breaks fairly hard. Then it let off the breaks and the light went out. It did this about seven...

Hi there, I have 05 V6 base model without ASP/TC. I would like to know whether there is anyone who really installed that part. I've read some posts about this topic, but every ended with statement that it is not worthy, but the comments were not from people who really tried it. I know I can buy...

I have a 2012 V6 that has had intermittent traction control issues since 9000 miles, it now has 54,000. Traction Control light illuminations and engages ABS system while driving. It typically happens between 30 -40 mph while driving straight down the road. A few occasions while turning left onto...

Hey guys I have a 2003 mustang automatic v6 with 122k miles and have some questions. So I was driving on a snowy road, and I went to turn around on some ice and this happened. When I applied the brake the ABS kicked in and wouldn't stop until I got to dry pavement. When I was in the snow the...

I have a 2009 V6 and I have a question about traction control. I have been riding around in my friend's new 2011 3.7 and I noticed that he has a traction control toggle beside his gear shift. My cousin has a 2008 V6 Auto and he has a toggle beside his gear shift too. My pony is equipped with the...

I decided to just go pressing random buttons on my car... and when i pressed Trac Control, the light on the button didn't come on. So then I pressed it again, and the light still did not come on on the button. My dashboard has no Trac ON/OFF indicator on whatsoever. Does this mean that the Trac...

After getting home from a few fun filled weeks downrange I'm back in the Mustang saddle again. My husband has been driving the car some while I was gone but no Advanctrac problems happened to him while I was away. But after over 4 months of Ford troubleshooting, and 6 weeks of the Flight Data...

Hello Gentlemen, I recently got the infamous ABS/Trac off light on my 2004 Mach 1, and after taking her to Ford figured out that the ABS module is bad. The dealership quoted me $1500 for repair, which I think is a little too much. I have done some research to see cheaper ways to solve this...

It was 80F, on a clear, flat, smooth dry on ramp. I tried to get around an 18 wheeler hauling rocks. I had TC off, and went to 2/3 or 3/4 throttle, didn't even floor it, when I got along side the truck the TC Active light came on cutting the throttle and slaming on each brake individually in a...

So I've got a 2012 V6 mustang and I've been looking to learn how to burnout/do doughnuts. As I was looking up some stuff on the subject when I came across how traction control and stability control will affect how easily I can break the back wheels free. As of now I drive on the "Sport" mode...

I recently bought a 2002 Mustang GT, when I went out for a joy ride I found some empty roads and tried to turn the traction control off to have some fun. When I pushed the button the light didn't turn on, so I turned the car off, started it back up and without moving pushed the button again and...

My 2002 Mustang GT had been running fine without any problems. It began raining the other day and of course I enjoy playing some while it is wet and most times I leave the traction control on. This allows the rear wheels to spin in a mild manner but can still be controlable in traffic. The other...

I've never been a stranger to the forums as they always come in handy but just decided to join. I'm Kevin :wavey and Mustangs have always been in my family as my father owning over 40 in his lifetime mostly between 64-69 and his last being the 1994 cobra official indy pace car. I've had 3...

So, I loved my 2005 v6 convertible Performance White Mustang dearly. I had it shipped 4 months ago all the way from the states and I enjoyed driving it day by day till a few weeks ago I drove over a silly, shallow, drop of water and learned how slippery it is. This week it started raining and I...

Hey, I'm a new owner of a 2004 Mustang V6 coupe and i was wondering if there is anyway to disable traction control, even if i do not a switch that disengages traction control? For example is there any specfic things i can do during start up to disable traction control for that drive without...

Hey this is my first post on the forums and I have a some questions about my 01 Mustang GT. First, occasionally my ABS light will go on and my Traction control will turn off, and I won't be able to turn it back on. Why does this happen, dirty censor? or something more serious? Second, when I...

My traction control doesnt turn off when i press the button, but the button still lights up. I was told that i could pull the ABS fuse to disable it but i would loose my ABS..i dont wana go that route, is there any other easy way to just disable it? or someway to fix it? PLEASE REPLY!!!

I cant get my traction control to go off, even when the light comes on after you press the button to turn traction control off, If I get in it, the little green tire still comes up on my dash by the speedo, watch the video in the link bellow to see what I mean. YouTube - ‪2001 V6 Mustang...

So when my TCS off light is on that means it is off, what makes this turn on? I can only imagine that the TCS enables when senses "slippedge" of the tires? Also my ABS light remains on also, is that normal? and is that connected somehow to the TCS??? thank you =D
