Traction control

[Darren]

Should there be a Traction Control light on the dash when it's on of is there only a one for when it's off ?

[Pescha]

Hey Darren , the traction light goes out once the engine is started! It automatically comes on the traction control. If you manually turn this option off by the button the light comes on! And if you turn the traction control on again the light goes out!

I hope this helps you!

Cheers,
Pescha!

I would have thought the light comes on when it is actually doing something ie stopping you skid and also when you have a problem.

THE traction light comes on only when the ignition is switched on or when you switch it off. when its stopping you from skidding a anti skid light comes on

Is that the same with the AYC? Whats the difference between AYC and Traction Control?

[Brind]

AYC is for cornering in that it applies varying amounts of power to each wheel whereas Traction Control is for general skid prevention.

With the AYC you have a bar of 3 lights which tell you how hard the AYC is working.

Found this snippet if it helps:

The Evolution IV was the first to receive Mitsubishi's AYC INSERT INTO post VALUES (active yaw control). AYC varies the torque between the right and left rear wheels, to help maintain stability and control. AYC operates by having sensors to monitor the steering wheel angle, accelerator angle, wheel-speed, fore-and-aft acceleration, and lateral acceleration. By judging between the driver's inputs and what the car is doing, the computer will know if the car is begining to understeer or oversteer, a torque transfer differential varies the torque between the rear wheels to achieve stability. Inside the torque transfer differential there is a gear mechanism which can increase or decrease the speed of either axle by 13% compared to the differential case speed. The torque split is accomplished by twin clutches that transfer/split torque between the right and left rear wheels by varing the slippage rate. An electic pump supplies the hydraulic pressure to the clutches.
