Bmw dtc what is it

Appreciate 0. Major General. The car has full stability and traction control. This means that the engine power will be cut if the driving wheels start to spin. So the car will wheelspin a bit before engine power is reduced. The driver has full control and the engine power will not be reduced, no matter how much wheelspin you get or how far the car gets out of shape in a bend.

However, it's pretty clear that it's also designed to allow for a more sporting drive. Motoring journalists often describe it as emulating an electronic limited slip diff. Originally Posted by NFS.

But, I'm not sure I've ever seen a definitive answer to the following question: does switching from full DSC to DTC do more than just allow wheel spin? I dunno if it's just my imagination, but I always think that the car feels a bit 'looser' when I am in DTC mode.

Some people seem to think that if you switch to DTC, then it will only make a difference in those situations where, if you were still in DSC, you would see the flashing orange warning sign. It's my understanding, though, that this is not correct. Thanks for all replys. Originally Posted by FieldingMellish.

What do you expect with your torque monster? Is DTC only on X drive? I have a xi and in the snow and gravel it really straightens out and slows down if any fish tail at all.

GS Trophy Traction control DTC Safety in changing operating conditions. DTC makes a significant contribution to a high level of driving dynamics and outstanding road safety. Particularly under changing riding conditions, on surfaces with low levels of adhesion and in case of sudden leaps in friction coefficients, Dynamic Traction Control provides invaluable assistance. BMS-X detects a spinning rear wheel by comparing the speeds of the front and rear wheel via the ABS sensors and data measured by the angular rate sensor inclination sensor.

The engine control triggers a corresponding reduction in the drive torque in such cases by reducing the ignition position, intervening in fuel injection and influencing the position of the throttle valve. Unlike with previous BMW Motorrad ASC systems, the inclined position is also determined via intricate clusters of sensors and taken into account in the control behavior with DTC traction control.
