Vehicle stability control, traction
control and ABS systems are essentially the same thing what manufacturers do is
add different sensors to create a desired result. In the case of stability
control what makes this system different is,
it works to control lateral side to side movement when your vehicle
loses traction. Stability control systems are particularly effective in inclement driving
conditions, where the roadway may be covered with rain, ice or snow and the
normal friction between the tires and the road is reduced. If the vehicle were
to loose traction the stability control system kicks in reducing engine speed
by controlling throttle angle as well as wheel braking regardless what the
driver is actually doing
