Default Traction Control Questions

'98 supercharged vette with a racing auto. The car goes into reduced power traction handling mode very frequently. Simply a normal acceleration can make this go off and I have to turn the traction control off. Does anyone have any ideas of any sensors that I should check?? The car seems to do it more frequently when the engine is cold that after it is has been on the road for 10 minutes.

My first question would be what size tires do are you running? I've heard of similar problem when the rears and front are to close.

My 02 has a supercharger and I don't have any problems. Maybe the earlier ones were more sensitive. I don't know how much HP your putting down but mine is pretty basic 473 whp and 440 torque.

C5 general gets the most views, but you may also want to post this in Tech or F/I since your's is supercharged. Good luck with your grimlin.

Mine was doing the same thing without any F1 so I took it to the dealership and they adjusted it. You might have to do that.
