Traction Control/Auto LSD usable in ice?

If the road is iced over will the Traction Control/Auto LSD be of any use? The truck is a 09 2wd 5 speed 4 cylinder.

 

No experience with 2nd Gen Tacomas but my Dad's 07 Tundra has some pretty cool electronics on it. I find they are too controlling though my Mom likes it haha.

 

Yes, the auto lsd helps, but if you push it too hard it will shut off due to over heating.

 

Do both rear wheels spin with the Traction Control/Auto LSD turned off?

 

autolsd on ice patches helps as it doesn't throttle down

in normal mode when it slips, it cuts throttle. in autolsd, it doesn't, it just brakes the
slipping wheel forcing the grabbing wheel to turn.

if you know there are ice patches or the right hand side is all snow and left hand side is all tar, autolsd helps with traction and doesn't cut throttle

 

sure... when in a straight line or when wheels have equal traction, same as any open diff. both will hook up, but as soon as one is better than the other, you get open-diff-slip.

when it does slip with traction control on it'll cut power

 

The auto LSD on the 09+ trucks is pretty awesome. It cuts power but it doesn't kill it. You can floor the gas pedal on an ice incline and you will slowly and steadily climb it. (when I tested it on a side road). With auto LSD you could spin both wheels on ice and go nowhere. with Auto LSD and TRAC control you will keep moving forward. No need to kill the TRAC unless you want to spin your way out of something like a ditch or a mud hole.
