The provided reference describes the typical location of the traction control system's main components, rather than the individual sensors that feed data to the system. Based on this information, the core of the traction control system is situated in a specific area of the vehicle, integrated with another crucial safety system.
According to the reference titled "Where is Traction Control Typically Located?", the traction control system is usually found "under the hood inside the anti-lock braking system (ABS) control module".
This indicates that the central processing unit and hydraulic control elements for the traction control system are often housed within or alongside the ABS module.
The components typically located within this module, as described in the reference, include:
- Programming or algorithms within the ABS electronic control unit (ECU).
- Extra valving in the ABS hydraulic control unit (HCU) designed to manage brake pressure during traction control interventions.
While this describes the location of the traction control module, the sensors (often wheel speed sensors) that detect wheel slip and provide data to this module are typically located at each wheel hub.
