A System of speed sensors and tire pressure sensors that helps detects and counteracts the tendency for the vehicle to roll over
AdvanceTrac Stability Enhancement System (if equipped) The AdvanceTrac system helps the driver maintain the stability and steer-ability of the vehicle. The system integrates anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Traction Control with other vehicle systems to further enhance the stability of the vehicle. The system shares many of the electronic and mechanical elements already present in the Traction Control and ABS systems. AdvanceTrac constantly monitors the vehicle motion relative to the driver's intended course. This is done by using added sensors that compare the steering inputs from the driver with the actual motion of the vehicle. When there is a discrepancy between the driver's inputs and the vehicle motion, AdvanceTrac changes the force at each tire to help control the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to rotate excessively left or right, spin out, or slide sideways, the system will attempt to correct the excessive motion. If the vehicle does not respond to steering inputs, the system will attempt to increase the turning response of the vehicle. AdvanceTrac enhances stability during maneuvers that require all available tire traction to control the vehicle. The system uses ABS and Traction Control (including control of the engine) as well as its more advanced controls to enhance vehicle stability. The benefits of the AdvanceTrac system are most noticeable when driving in wet/snowy/icy road conditions and/or when performing emergency maneuvers. In an emergency lane-change, the driver will experience better overall control of the vehicle.

Electronic Stability Control systems on vehicles do not help you take corners but it will help you maintain control of your vehicle and prevent accidents in dangerous conditions.
AdvanceTrac is not an all-wheel-drive system; rather, it is a traction control technology developed by Ford. It helps improve vehicle stability and control by managing wheel spin and adjusting engine power and braking when it detects slip or loss of traction. While it can enhance performance in slippery conditions, it is distinct from all-wheel drive, which provides power to all four wheels simultaneously for better traction.
Yaw sensor - detects the rotation of the vehicle to help with stability control systems.
VSA = Vehicle Stability Assist. It's vehicle stability control and traction control.
A control system is a device that commands, regulates, directs, or manages the behavior of other systems or devices. Cruise control. emission control, traction control, vehicle stability control, brake system, engine cooling, exhaust system, fuel system, steering and suspension, and the transmission are control systems in a vehicle.
WABCO Vehicle Control Systems was created in 1869.
Yes, the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) light can be related to the transmission, but it primarily indicates issues with the vehicle's stability systems. If the VSC light is illuminated, it may suggest problems with the traction control or stability control systems, which can be affected by transmission performance. Additionally, if the transmission is not functioning properly, it could impact the vehicle's ability to maintain traction, triggering the VSC light. However, it's essential to diagnose the specific issue to determine the exact cause.

Vehicle Stability Control
Cornering stability control helps to keep a vehicle's wheels from slipping and sliding during turns. This helps drivers to maintain better control of their vehicle.
