For my clarification is this what's happening ? Brakes; With the brakes applied and a wheel or wheels are not in contact with the ground, (This could be a pothole, bump etc.). The anti skid senses a skid because wheel stops turning (brakes on) and releases the brake pressure. Upon ground recontact brakes resume operating ??????????? Traction control: Car senses skid under acceleration and modulates power to drive wheels. This happens fairly frequently on roads with sand/dirt in my area. Carl
You're accurate though the highlighted part. But upon the skid sensor triggering what happens is the brake pedal releases transiently b/c the car is switching from "normal" regenerative braking to "emergency" friction braking. Not b/c it's intentionally releasing brake pressure.
Thanx Dr. Fusco. I really don't understand that interaction. We've had no troubles with our 2007s. Think we'll wait a bit before considering Gen III again. Carl
