Off-Road ABS Control Module Programming
The programming for ABS regulation have changed to allow a higher threshold for ABS regulation when driving off-road in loose gravel or dirt. A locked wheel is more effective in slowing or stopping the vehicle because of the wedge that is built up in front of the tire.
The programming in the DSC control module allows one or both front wheel(s) to lock up to a speed of 12 MPH as long as the vehicle is traveling straight ahead. If the DSC control module receives a signal from the steering angle sensor indicating a turn, ABS regulation will activate to prevent the lock and allow the vehicle to be steered.
