Traction Control

When I first got my 02, if I accidentially spun a tire it would shut me down...you could feel the braking from corner to corner...once on wet pavement I felt it kick in, but of late i no longer have to turn it off to spin the tires and on a recent trip to "Vettes On the Rockies" the rear end broke loose with no help from the traction control I brought it back...Chevy dealer is so far no help...has made several calls to the factory but they haven't come up with an answer...Can anyone help with a possible solution I can do or take to the dealer

what happens if you try to turn the traction control on, off, or put it in competitive handling mode? any messages or codes on the DIC?

There's basically no difference...Nothing on the DIC

Do you have a supercharger? With enough HP you can punch through TC.

My experience is when the tires wear down and it doesn't take as much horsepower to break em loose the TC/AH appears to not react as quickly as with new tires.....

I agree. When new I couldn't spin the wheel. As I added mods it became easier. Now with almosst 21k miles a can spin em with traction control ON. And in competitive mode they break free in shift to second sometimes.
