front end noise

my front end made an awful noise when I was turning and lost traction for a second or two. a light did flash on in dash but was unable to see which one it was. Any ideas?

 

That's the traction control system. First new-er car?

 

Traction control. The light was the indicator showing it was on. The noise was the ABS pump modulating the rear brakes.

 

when it engages it makes an aweful noise?

 

Yes.

 

Is this the firs vehicle you've driven with this system?

 

Wait until you try crawl control!

 

wow. ok, hey thanks for your input

 

yes first time with this system

 

also when im in 4 wd hi in the snow and turning slightly it seems to bind up really bad, they tell me its normal. ive driven 4 wd trucks and never had it bind up like this one does

 

Make sure your tires are no more than a couple lbs of pressure from each other and on each axle. Also make sure they are of the same brand/make and size on all axles.

There should be no significant or noticeable binding on 4hi in slippery roadways, but it should be noticeable on dry pavement, ouch!

Best of luck

Cheers
