Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) is a sub-function of the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system that can be turned on and off. DTC has two major roles: to regulate traction and to enable sports-style driving while providing active stability control.
When the drive wheels start losing traction the DSC automatically begins stabilisation measures. The Dynamic Stability Control system curbs the engine output and stops slip on the wheels. In exceptional situations, however, a small amount of wheel slip can be an advantage.
When driving in deep snow, slush or on loose terrain a small amount of wheel spin improves traction. For these occasions, as well as those when the drivers want a sportier driving style, the DTC can be activated by pressing a …show more content…
Depending on the nature of the fault, the stability control system and ABS system may be temporarily disabled. The vehicle can still be driven normally but the stability control/ABS system will remain off-line and cannot prevent vehicle skidding or loss of control in an emergency driving situation. For this reason, a stability control/ABS warning light should be investigated immediately and repairs made as soon as possible.
The vehicle that had to be check was BMW 320d in which I had to check for any faults in abs the diagnostic tool which was used for this was KTS 570 which can be connected directly to the car through the OBD port. When the check was run with the help of the ESI tronic the fault was found in the right front wheel speed sensor . wheel speed sensor cannot be serviced so it has to be replaced. Typical problems include loss of sensor signal due to sensor failures or wiring faults, problems in the ABS modulator, pump motor, pump relay or high pressure accumulator. Always check for vehicle manufacturer technical service bulletins any time a stability control or ABS problem is
