Dion Report post Posted February 24, 2015 Can anyone advise on how the 3 stage traction control on the SE30 operates? Reason I ask is that with mine set to the safest setting (3) when I use the gas it misfires under acceleration very badly, when I set it to 2 the misfire is marginally better, at 1 its better again and at 0 its much better but still misfires a bit in the mid range and then clears at higher revs. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipster Report post Posted February 24, 2015 Interested to know this too. Didn't even know it had this feature. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placid Report post Posted February 24, 2015 Can anyone advise on how the 3 stage traction control on the SE30 operates? It operates terribly Mine was so jerky and rough, I tested it once and never used it again. Felt like something wrong with the car when it kicked in.

That's how mine feels. On anything more than zero its almost undrivable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Report post Posted February 24, 2015 drive it on setting 0 ! Be a man! http://youtu.be/QuLO1WAOikk For sure, but I think it's the TC thats the route of the misfire even when it's switched to 0 Nothing in the owners manual that tells me how it operates Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placid Report post Posted February 25, 2015 Nothing about it in the owners manual? It only says what christiann wrote, and that setting 3 is for emergencies only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipster Report post Posted February 25, 2015 Very interesting. Maybe jefflambo or Roy will have more insight. Not sure how traction control would cause misfiring Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion Report post Posted February 25, 2015 Very interesting. Maybe jefflambo or Roy will have more insight. Not sure how traction control would cause misfiring It's just a theory at the moment. It's because the misfire at setting zero is like a very watered down version on setting 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placid Report post Posted February 25, 2015 Very interesting. Maybe jefflambo or Roy will have more insight. Not sure how traction control would cause misfiring I'm guessing the traction control cuts fuel to reduce the effect, causing the engine to misfire due to running lean.

jefflambo Report post Posted February 26, 2015 0-traction off 1-normal traction on 2-wet and slippery roads 3-snow really slippery This is correct. I recommend to only drive in mode 0.. The system is bad. It cuts fuel pumps this is why the system is slow to respond and recover. Every time the system turns on it is a lean miss fire. It has speed sensors on both rear wheels to read speed difference but has a hard time with 2wd and when turning. Comes on way to easy.

falconsprint Report post Posted February 26, 2015 there are two types of traction control: 1. cut power to engine when wheel slip detected or 2. apply brake to slipping wheel. I doubt Lamborghini had #2 in 1994. So my guess is that the system is falsely detecting wheel slip. Perhaps check the wheel speed sensors. Or find and pull the fuse for the traction control to disable it altogether. Do you have the correct tires on the car? If your front/rear tires are not matched the comparative rotational speed won't match what the computer expects. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I have the correct tyres What I can glean from you guys is that the TC is a very antiquated system and what I am experiencing is normal.
