Traction Control - Explained

[@ramzeenmohamed6824]

Short and sweet, well done !!!

[@hopex9729]

Well if I can’t be the first comment being the first comment on a comment will have to do

[@umutonuralppolat9352]

Good to have all the info you need in 1 minute instead of stretched empty 10 minutes

[@EngineeringExplained]

It does this so that you don't spin your tires (and lose control). It attempts to provide you the maximum acceleration possible under the given conditions.

Why can’t I burnout on my 2005 5.3V8 Silverado?

[@maxhidrogo5529]

@@TonyCrispruby damn that was 2 years ago I sold it cuz u need to tune to take off the track and governor i went and got another truck

[@bilokenneth]

2011 Engineering Explained Video, Yay~ btw if the driver is able to manage their gas pedal car precisely (Let's say racer?) , will it be faster without the traction control?

[@YESHUA_AKBAR_345]

Best video ever. Straight to the point, no corny intro. You’re the best dude

[@EngineeringExplained]

Assuming you don't sit there and spin the tires, yes. But having traction control will allow you to get close to maximum acceleration. From stop though, it won't necessarily kick in immediately, so you'd still be able to spin your tires a little bit.

[@naveendas9173]

I swear. Went through numerous 5-10min videos until I saw yours and now I can explain it to others. Thanks

[@Noname-iq1gz]

I love how your style doesn’t change

[@razak8528]

Dude, you Rock. Short, Simple, and Concise.

[@KritarthMalviya]

Such a simple and accurate explaination! It's useful to me in 2022 also👍

[@AdamFayez]

short, clear and simple! thank you for your video

[@alialabbas1982]

You explain it in less than a minute ! That's really good 👍🏻

[@EngineeringExplained]

Different systems use different techniques. Limiting throttle is one of them as well.

[@Kevinb1821]

This proves that if you have the will, you can make it on KZbin. Everyone big now has humble beginnings.

[@EngineeringExplained]

Traction control would simply decrease throttle and/or brake the slipping tires.

[@dandisinfographicchannel1346]

man we need to keep it simple just like that. the way you explained it, it really tells you a master of what you're talking.

[@jeffsmith5111]

You explained it the best and easiest in a short period of time !!

[@nationwidehat15]

Best explaination in such a short time. Nice

[@sefanja4728]

Thanks! This is still very useful 12 years later!

[@Flyer7375]

Wish all videos were as short and as clear demystifying technologies. Kudos.

[@WilliamTopListing]

Amazing 57 second you can have in 2022! Thank you!

[@Aidenroxx2033]

Thanks for the explanation! Now I can understand what is Traction control!

[@196superman]

Iv gotta do a presentation on how traction control works with ABS for my advanced motor vehicle course at college, This 57 Second video taught me more than bosch's own video! Cheers for the help! :)

[@EngineeringExplained]

Yes, traction control can work independently with each tire, though this would require independent braking, rather than engine/fuel control.

[@EngineeringExplained]

@Fan4Dem I would say yes, probably consolidated, but not positive.

[@Cris_P_Bacon.]

this is nostalgic youtube. no BS, straight to the point, thanks a lot sir haha

[@willharvey1479]

Bro u made that so easy to understand man u rock dude thumbs up

[@oogiemaster]

This is nice, you explained how the car realizes why it needed to do some adjustment to the driving wheel. The Stability Control video lacks this explanation. 'just saying! Nice work. keep uploading.

[@trivixni435]

its been 11y and still this vid rocks

[@kyawn5115]

Old yet gold ! Thank you.

[@kingraiderr]

Great explanation straight to the point.

[@ninadpunekar]

Beautifully explained bro keep making such.

[@fattypatty6733]

Straight to the point. Great video 👍

[@academiaengineering5136]

It’s the dcu (drive control unit) that determines the speed of the wheels and whatever wheel is stuck. The dcu tells the engine to send all its torque to the wheel that is stuck.

[@hafizquliyev7565]

Very good and sort explanation. Thank you

[@Selvaraj-js2ee]

Best and simple explanation brother. Thanks

[@kbj42016]

Love your "explained" lessons. Hate when my car senses I want to go and so it applies the brakes. How soon till it senses the speed limit and refuses to go faster?

[@NKillmore]

And I'm over here thinking it was a complicated process. THANK YOU

[@levysimfukwe404]

Excellent bro simple and clear

[@codaddict25]

Dude ur vids are real good keep it up man

[@joshuagibson2520]

Wow who is this kid! Awesome to see where Jason is now.

[@Matthew-jm6ex]

first class explanations😊

[@aquickfoo4256]

Thank you even in 2022 this educated me!

[@dukeboreham2782]

Still a very useful video in 2021 :)

[@Gitohandro]

This is the first video I've watched of yours that made sense... Though I thought you'd go on to explain why people like turning traction control off in sports cars

[@dineshong7498]

exactly short and sweet. Thank You!

[@ScienceMadeFunner]

Wow sir! nice job on the video very helpful 🙂

[@mountainjustice]

People rent 15 passenger GM vans with traction control without understanding how it works. When TC kicks in, they think something is wrong with the vehicle and demand to take it back to the Enterprise Rent a Car place. This has caused me so many headaches trying to explain that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, but they wont listen. Rental agencies should stop offering vehicles with traction control or they should make the renters watch a video that explains how it works. Thanks for a good video

[@pcno2832]

I had a Chrysler LHS with traction control that got it through most snow and ice without slowing it down; it felt like a giant rat clawing its way through the ice and snow. Once in a long long while, going up hill in really sticky slush, the LHS made better progress with the TC off, but otherwise, you could just leave it on and forget about it. The 05 Honda Accord I have now is nothing like that; as soon as it encounters any slippage it retards the throttle so much that the engine feels as if it has stalled; it's downright dangerous at stop signs, since you can't shut the damn thing off without bringing the car to a complete stop. I don't see how a generally competent company like Honda could put their name on something so badly engineered, but I've heard that some other Honda and Acura cars also do this.

[@tomd8168]

Hi Jason can you do an updated video? I saw a video on the new Cadillac blackwing and was wondering how they keep the vehicle planted, but can also reduce traction with a slider on the touchscreen. Thanks!

[@zainalabideen6577]

0:28 tire movement/speed are different with the vehicle. it was an angular velocity (i.e; rad/s). while vehicle speed was a linear velocity (i.e; 45mph).

[@mattn.8941]

If the radius of the tire is known, then the relationship between the tire's angular velocity and its linear velocity is known. A tire spinning at 1 rad/s with a radius of 10 in would travel 10 in/s. Similarly, a tire spinning at 5 rpm with a radius of 10 in would travel five circumferences every minute, or 5 * (2 * PI * 10) in/min.

[@formula1nh]

OMG Thank you soooo much for this explanation! God Bless you :')

[@EngineeringExplained]

Exactly.

[@mohamedkhalilarbi7269]

Very simple explanation, thx

[@EngineeringExplained]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ahsauj]

this is better information than my school

[@JohnSmith-vo8is]

Best explanation

[@mattb4579]

Short video... so the loss of traction is generally a result of too much torque, right?

[@csmith6583]

matt b 2 years late so I figure you already know the answer but pretty much. The tire can’t get grip as fast as the tire wants to go. That’s why you turn it off if you want to do burn outs

[@mkschreder]

Also because of wheels lifting off the ground during acceleration.

[@the_batmobile0.4]

If the road is wet

[@iamasmurf1122]

No loss of traction is due to you not reading what conditions and road surface you are driving on with zero clue on how much of your tyre grips the road at any given time

[@excla8713]

Yes. It balances both wheels from the rear wheels to prevent spinning or doing a burnout

[@1NicksPCTutorials1]

Excellent video, thank you.

[@G-Kaka]

Well done good explained just what I expected

[@EngineeringExplained]

Thanks!

[@mercedesbenz4846]

Awesome dude !! Well Explained

[@mishirali7992]

LOVE.. Hope you will continue

[@AndrewKidd14145]

Simple and to the point! Thanks

[@Actrl51]

Knowing the velocity of each tire we also know its slip angle. We also know the coefficient of friction with the ground. Can we use that information to calculate the force pushing down on each wheel at all times?

[@Rieleyhunt]

Short and simple!

[@kelvin513]

Bro you are genius

[@4x4.tests.on.rollers]

Hi Jason, can you watch my two videos called "Mitsubishi ASX fail of traction control" and explain, why the car is not moving? Is there not enough speed to activate the brakes or is it some wickness of Mitsubishi traction control?

[@EngineeringExplained]

Sure, click on my user name to go to my channel, then go down to the fifth playlist labeled "Transmissions and Gears." Should find out what you need to know! And check out the one after it "Clutches and Torque Converters" to get a little more detail on each transmission and how power is applied.

[@YunantoJuwono]

This is very helpful, nice.

[@thayakarthi1503]

Well done 👍

[@kaeminator]

@oogiemaster i think it is possible that rear tires spin at 75mph but front tires at 45 mph...so sensors can easily see miss-match in spinning and adjust it. I think))

[@lucianrus18]

But how does the car know that is slipping if all tires are slipping? In the case showed, the front wheels are the point of reference, but in a awd car all wheels are slipping at the same time.

[@Danyghaddar]

normally back wheels will spn faster than front so the sensor will pick it up have a good1

[@lazyman2473]

simple explanation good job thanks

[@Brad3619]

simple and easy.thanks buddy

[@renereiche]

Could you explain (or even make a video) what the difference between a TCS and an eLSD is? Both brake one wheel to even the amount of torque one an axle, but how is it that in some cars you can turn TCS off and the eLSD stays ON?? Is it just more generous in allowing wheelspin to some degree like a limited slip differential would, but essentially the TCS is still on? Also, some manufacturers have cars with eLSD that have clutches, others use the braking system like in TCS? It's very confusing to me. Thanks

[@ChaerulSumaryanto]

Instruction is clear, thanks! :)

[@sarmashi]

Thanks for the video. very informative

[@jameselmore622]

thanks so much this helped so much how you made it quite basic

[@anticyclingclub]

In Forza motorsports 6 i think it reduces power sent to the wheels but in a way of using the clutch because the engine is moving faster than the acceleration of the transmission

[@AWDfreak]

I think it might be Electronic Brake-force Distribution. The control unit(s) that control stability control, traction control, and/or ABS will attempt to distribute the braking force for the conditions, rather than a set ratio (i.e. the master cylinder). At least that's what I know regarding EBD. I'd like someone to chime in who knows more about it.

[@chrisinator13]

Traction Control...Off :)

[@jaganmangat1989]

Hmn..........confusion,i read the Traction control doesn't applies brakes,instead it limits and regulates the power being provided to the tires in case of Hard acceleration.

[@RedRockin6]

Thanks. Cool video.

[@E92.AJ.]

wow great video

[@jaywilliams3423]

That's good but what if your car is on a rolling road, how can you use the speed of the vehicle to determine traction (unless you mean the derived speed from the engine)?

[@Actrl51]

What about traction control when you are accelerating while turning. As you know when you corner each tire travels at a different speed. There is also a certain acceptable slip angle (10 degrees?). Can you program the ECU to cut the engine supply then? Thanks!

[@ArunKumarArunSyon]

Does that mean it will break/reduce/match with engine speed at the time of corners or braking areas?

[@BrokdaRock]

Grate video!

[@FifaIsDank]

So does enabling traction control make you faster or slower?? in terms of acceleration

[@remyche8768]

Depends on how much tradition you're loosing. It's good to have little wheel spin then the car taking power from the wheels

[@Prhyme22]

Well explained.

[@josedominguez2021]

Superb!!! Gracias, muy claro.

[@0bigantney0]

Would traction control sensors be dependent on front wheel speed for RWD and/or rear wheel speed for fwd cars? For example, your front wheel, like you explained, is at 45 mph and rear wheel at 75 in rotational speed, the system kicks in. Also, would this work in a case of AWD or 4WD.

[@zackdelarocha8]

Would hit like multiple times if that worked. Thank you!

[@stefaniesantillano9133]

So my 2017 civic has a traction control button. Should it always be on? Or only under certain conditions?

[@Inimbrium]

Wow, you were so young back then lol

[@MajorAddiction]

straightforward , ty

[@andersr9545]

will traction control on the rear axle work as a limited slip differential?

[@soawn29]

Can someone explain is traction control exaclty the same as ESP?

[@allseasons765]

what if the car is 4WD and all 4 wheels are loosing grip (e.g. on snow)? will the car gauge the real speed off the slowest moving wheel?

[@MixedArarash]

Do I have to keep the traction button always ON? When should it be off?

[@EngineeringExplained]

Generally best to leave in on. Can be useful to turn off in certain conditions, but really it’s fine to just leave it on. Folks turn it off when track driving so it doesn’t interfere.

[@umairkhalid2356]

i want to know about Manual Transmission,Gear Box more... can you send me any links?
