2010 drops to idle when spinning

Ok first off i havent seen the truck do this, it is a friends truck and he was asking me about it. I figured i would ask yall cause theres guys on here that know way more than me.

A friend of mine has a 2010 taco and he said that if he gets in a field doing donuts or going up muddy hill in 2wd that once the truck starts spinning it goes to a idle and wont accelerate. My 06 taco does not do this, didnt know if it was a safe mode that they have came out with. Anyone know anything it could be? any help is appreciated. thanks

 

Nobody gonna bust on him?

 

My 09 did that once when I got stuck, I think it a safety thing or something.

 

VSC kicking in.

 

Thanks for the help guys. good to know there are some guys here that will actually help and not "bust" on someone

Yea its a safety thing, Tell your friend to look for the VSC button the one that has the little truck with curvy roads and hold that down for 5 to 10 seconds it should turn off, then he could do some good donuts
