Found out that my TCS works today!
Yea so i find out today what happens when your Traction control system kicks in. It has been rainy all day and i was in Austin visiting family and some idiot was blocking the access road off of I-35 and i had to hit it hard on the gas. as i shifted into 2nd i start to fishtail and all i hear is four consecutive beeps and as i correct my steering my car regains control quicker than i thought i could. Pretty neat...

Yea no bs. I have driven an older model F150 with a V8 for years now and I am so used to fishtailing (sometimes on purpose in the mud ) that i was surprised. It was so quick at gaining control that it took the fun out of it..j/k. Just glad our cars have something like this when we have loved ones in the vehicle..

Its really amazing how well it works (I have the AWD by the way).... When it snows/sleets/ice I usually always try and brake hard at the first stop sign to test how slick it is, and then accelerating out of that stop sign again to test how slick it is, and I can put the car sideways and keep gassing it without steering out of it and the car will 100% fix it, its amazing.
I remember the day I bought it was snowing pretty heavily and I was excited for donuts.... didn't happen, car said no.

Look up how to disable IS250 VSC on YouTube. It turns it off until the next time you crank the car.
