System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Nissan 370Z and 2016 Nissan 370Z. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Traction Control System is a function that electronically controls engine torque, brake fluid pressure and A/T gear position to ensure the optimum slippage ratio at drive wheels by computing wheel speed signals from 4 wheel sensors. When ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) detects a spin at drive wheels (rear wheels), it compares wheel speed signals from all 4 wheels. At this time, LH and RH rear brake fluid pre sure are controlled, while fuel being cut to engine and throttle valve being closed to reduce engine torque by the control unit. Further more, throttle position is continuously controlled to ensure the optimum engine torque at all times.
During TCS operation, TCS informs driver of system operation by flashing VDC warning lamp.
Electrical system diagnosis by CONSULT is available.
