Alright thanks...i'll do that.

 

Keep me posted.

 

Tech,

When my traction control activates (when tires slip) on my 99' S80, there is a rough, unpleasant sound. Sounds like alot of metal grinding on metal. It isn't sharp, but just rough, and also sounds like an expulsion of air (don't really know how to explain it.) All of the lights dim because I guess it uses a good amount of power. Is this a problem?

The traction control is noisy.I bet is sounds almost like the abs.Have you activated the ABS on your car yet?
If not I would reccomend to do it in a safe enviroment.Just so you know what it feels like.So that if you ever need to use it you know what to expect.
I would say the traction control thing is normal.

 

This may be pre-mature, but how do you "activate" the ABS? I just assumed it was an all-time system. I know that I can turn the Trac-Control on and off, though.

 

I mean on an old back road safely drive about 35MPH and slam on the brakes and you should feel it kick on.
