Default Re: Traction Control?

You are mixing two terms and two different processes.

ABS is Anti Lock Brakes - All Ford Hybrids have this all the way back to '05.

Traction Control is what limits wheel spin when you try to accelerate on slippery surfaces.

ABS = related to brake pedal
Trac Control = related to gas pedal.

The 2005-2007 do NOT have traction control, and maybe 2008 don't either.
