Very interesting...While reading the article on traction control at Edmunds referred to in another discussion on TCS, I noted this statement:
"As we mentioned above, ABS and traction control operate similarly. In fact, the ABS control unit is the basic "building block" for traction control and stability control. By adding modules and sensors, the system can be expanded to include these newer technologies."
It makes sense that ABS, TCS, and DSC are merely sensors in the same system. So, if one has a car with ABS and TCS, can they "upgrade" to DSC merely by obtaining and plugging in a sensor?
