Traction Control

BF ute? No it doesn't have it.

Are you 100% it doesnt. Mines a BF2 ute and it has the DSC/TC.

can anyone confirm if it cuts spark or fuel ? and also if its bad to be using tc with a tuned car ? Coz sometimes my T/C will cut in and refuse to give me ANY power at all and just burbles

AFAIK the utes only have TC. DSC was only introduced in the ute with the FG, but not in the early ones.

hi guys,

Looking to buy a bf at the momment, looked at one today and the guysaid the only fault he knows of is the T/C light comes on from time to time. Any ideas????

[Guest XR09]

Yes it does. A lot. It's the TC trying to stop the RW spinning. Stupid thing for him to say and not laugh or explain.

[discostig]

Actually mine comes on sometimes even if I am driving off at a sedate pace. Can't feel any loss of power etc, it just lights up for a second.

That was even stock. Now it's just as odd...it seems the tyres sometimes manage to turn faster than the road speed in 1st and second, even though TC is on.

My car is a BA F6 and when it had low power you could put your foot flat around a corner and you could feel the car pulling out fuel and spark. Now with a lot more power my tuner has set the T/C to turn of if it senses excessive tyre spin. This is because if I forget to turn it off and drop the clutch and the T/C applies the rear brakes it could snap an axle.

The T/C is coming on when sitting at the lights or cruising along at 60km/h.

I can assure you my bf2 has tc and dsc.

Could be a bad sensor causing your issue when not actually loosing traction.
