Anybody ever hear about this? Came up on my DIC a couple of times and I have no idea what it means.

Benign. Did you recently change tires? I get this occasionally after putting on the Nitto Invos with 345 rear and 275 front. It doesn't cause any problems. It's just informational in nature.

it means the ECU thinks there is some tire slip in decel and is cracking the throttle to reduce the engine braking effect. very common if you put taller tires on the rear (only).

if you do a search you'll find many threads about it ...

Default New Nittos

Thanks for the reply.
Exactly perfect answer - I did just install new Nitto Invo's and the rear size of course is a bit bigger.

I must've been out driving when that series of posts came up before.
