What does ASR srand for?
My vette has this ASR light coming on in the information center? It says that my ASR is turned off as well. Does anyone know anything about what ASR stands for?

So it has nothing to do with what type of shocks I should buy, cuz I need to buy some new shocks and I dont want to buy the wrong ones. My chevrolet dealer doesnt know what it means so he cant tell me what shocks to buy.

I'd always heard it as Acceleration Slip Regulation, but I could be wrong. Come to think of it, I've seen it written a million times in the factory service manual and the owners manaual and I can't remember for sure what it says.
Most everybody I know refers to it simply as traction control.

its a traction control system. It usually means that one wheel is spinning faster and the computer is trying to compensate by spinning up the others to keep your butt on the road. If you turn it off, you will run into trouble sooner or later.

Re: What does ASR srand for? (vettes rule)
I usualy run with iut on there is a button the left side of the stearing wheel that turns it on and off.
If I want to smoke'm :D then I turn it off. If it is engaged and I punch it, I can feel the clutch and the brake do a little dance under my feet :lol: letting me know to back off or burn the clutch. :nonod:

ASR almost got me killed... it's turned off in my car before I leave the parking lot unless it raining out... then I leave it on.

Re: What does ASR srand for? (90 Corvette ZR-1)
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.
