What does your traction control sound like?

As in Sport doesn't have all the ABS Traction control features an OR has.

 

They still have ABS and traction control that will make all the fun noises....

 

Yep. just less variations

I think drum brakes add to enjoyable tunes.

 

The same noise every other vehicle I’ve had over the last 20 years when it kicks in. Is normal.

 

Might I suggest reading this sticky post. It will explain everything about the Traction control system and what it does and how switches affect it.

going in 4 wheel takes away from the donuts and side slides. Yes you can turn off some of the nanny controls while moving.

I think it is more responsive than the 2nd gen. You can almost shut it down when stopped by holding the button down for a few seconds, but it is not truly off.

LOL, that is exactly what it sounds like

 

Seriously though..I have a 3rd gen trdor, and this is the loudest traction control system ever.
Always sounds like it is going to break.

 

You know what it sounds like? Every vehicle that has one.

 

I have owned many vehicles, none of them have even been close to this loud.

 

mine isn't that loud. but i think the offroads with crawl control have a different traction control system than the SR. even on the SR, the traction control is incredibly good. never even been close to getting stuck.

 

I'm surprised by what sounds like a bunch of relays clicking on top of the ABS/TC sound.

 

Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but the TRDOR has an electronic brake booster. I believe Sport and below do not.

 

Magic.

 

I turned my traction control off.

 

I’ve owned a 2016 SR5 and a 2020 OR. The ABS system on the OR is indeed much louder. It has a hydraulic pump instead of a vacuum brake booster as part of the off-road traction control system (ATRAC/MTS/CC). I suspect the reason for the hydraulic pump is that it doesn’t run out of juice after a period of operation like a vacuum system does, but that is not an expert opinion.

 

It needs that stamina for crawl modes which sounds like the roller coaster pawl without the satisfying free fall and screams..
