I want DTC when its slippery or snowing, but otherwise I dont want the ECU cutting engine power just for a little bit of tire slip. So whats the real verdict, the OM says pressing the button with the light on means its turned ON, so im confused. I know how to turn off both DSC and DTC but I always keep DSC on since thats with the brakes not engine power.
from what I understand DSC is on automatically. when you push the button once it activates DTC (traction control) which allows more wheel spin before acting and will not cause changes in engine power. if you hold it in for 3 or 5 seconds then both are off and the only thing left is the electronic LSD.

hope that helps and is correct. anyone?
