ASR active lights up
Lights up on cluster panel when I "punch it" from stop. At the same time there is a buzzing from the rear. Could that be the fuel pump going bad? Could somebody xsplain the relationship to this. Forgive my ignorance. I'm new To the vette world.

"Traction control was introduced as standard equipment on all 1992 Corvette models. Called Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR), Corvette's system was created by Bosch and developed in cooperation with Corvette engineers. It was engaged automatically with the ignition, but could be turned off by an instrument panel switch. Corvette's ASR used engine spark retard, throttle close down, and brake intervention to limit wheel spin when accelerating. When the system was on and active, the driver could feel a slight accelerator pedal pushback"

The following quote is from a 1992 Corvette press release (written by Tom Hoxie and Kari St. Antoine, for release Sept. 1, 1991): ...The ASR electronic-control unit monitors several key inputs (i.e. drive wheel speeds, vehicle reference speed, the speed difference of the non-driven wheels, the front-to-rear wheel speeds on the same side of the car, vehicle acceleration and throttle position), in a three-tiered, two-stage system of traction control. The first two sub-systems are methods of engine torque control, with air restriction (via throttle cable relaxer) being the most potent. The three tiers or subsystems are:
1) Throttle cable relaxer (air restriction)
2) Engine spark retard
3) Brake intervention
The Corvette ASR system is capable of simultaneous or separate utilization of engine torque control and brake intervention.....

Wow. You actually went to the trouble of finding your owners manual, taking and editing pictures, then hosting the pictures just to try to prove me wrong.

Actually, brake intervention is a key component of the ASR system -

Cant argue with the facts
