The traction control and the ABS both use the wheel speed sensors in the wheel bearings
See "Related Questions" below for information on the ABS/Traction Control sensors...
There are many, many sensors in this and all of todays cars. Sensors for engine control and monitoring, ABS, Airbag, traction control, suspension, A/C, etc.
One of the speed sensors runs the speedometer/odometer and transmission shift patterns, other speed sensors run the abs and or traction control.
Depends on what is wrong with it. My traction control did not work as long as there was a problem with one of the ABS wheel sensors - the two functions are tightly integrated.
There isn't a single traction control sensor. The system uses the wheel speed sensors, at each wheel bearing, along with numerous other inputs.
Racelogic do after market traction control, its worth asking if it is suitable for 4wd cars and wether it can use the signals from the abs sensors or not. Hope this helps. James
Any certified tech will be able to this. They are located on the inside of the wheel. Take it to a dealer or a qualified tire store. It is important to properly install these sensors. They may interact with traction control on some vehicles.
There is a problem with your wheel speed sensors. This is common.
Probably one of your wheel speed sensors
The traction control system has sensors on each wheel to tell the computer when a tire is slipping. A good tire shop should be able to identify and repair the issue for you.
There are wheel speed sensors for the ABS and traction control systems and there is a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) that the ECM moniters and also operates the speedometer/odometer.
