mid-life crisis

How can you tell if traction control is working? A long time ago, I had the squiggly icon light up when I was in gravel but never since. I have had the back end get away from me on corners and never felt a correction when I think I should. I did not turn it off. Anyone ever have traction control quit working?

Usually I see the light flash a bit... I havnt ever had my back end go out, but if I go from a stop and drop the clutch in at high rpms I definitely feely the traction control keeping the tires from spinning. With the traction control off you can feel the tires spin more freely. Besides that I couldnt really tell you... if you tried this (carefully of course) and dont feel a difference then take it in maybe? good luck either way

I see mine flashing lots of times during acceleration but DSC interferes only after you get the back end sliding. A slight drift angle won't activate it.
Go to an empty parking lot with no poles and try a donut with DCS on. Then try with it off. The results should be very different.

Hi I just verified mine was working last night...here is how

Find a nice 270 degree on-ramp to your local freeway. try to be in second if you can... As you go through the turn FAST you will notice the little yellow lite comes on and off - lots of fun - but keep your eyes on the road first few times- it is a turn after all.

Great car!
