Default Traction Control & Active Handling

I've read several posts where it has been stated that when T/C comes on, it uses the brakes to stop the tires from spinning.

I've been under the impression that T/C is controlled thru throttle management , and not the brakes. A/H is the control that utilizes the brakes as needed at each wheel to correct "drift" :D

Looking for some expertise to clarify how these controls (T/C & A/H) work.

Thanks,

As far as I understand the system, TC uses both, the throttle and the rear brakes. AH on the other Hand can use all the front and rear braking system.
