Spin Control
4/15/2022 admin
The stability system consists of a number of functions designed help reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding, and to generally help improve directional stability.
NOTE
A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal.
Traction control (TC)
This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle).
TC is most active at low speeds.
This is one of DSTC’s permanent functions and cannot be switched off.
Spin control (SC)
The spin control function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.

spin control
Manipulation of the news, especially political news. The term, originating about 1980, uses “spin” in the sense of how something will be interpreted by the public. Among the techniques of spin control are selecting only facts that support one’s position, euphemisms to support one’s agenda, or making something sound like a denial when it is not. For example, “The company’s chief financial officer is a master of spin control; he always presents figures that make stockholders believe that the firm is prospering.” A closely related term is spin doctor, the person charged with getting the public to see something from a certain viewpoint. The officer in the example above is a spin doctor.
