Traction Control Aggressive Spark Retard vs. RPM: Aggressive TCS retard (degrees)
Traction Control Injector Disable: Specifies the number of injectors disabled by the TCS system for each mode (V6 only)
Traction Control Max Torque: Specifies the torque reference for retarding ignition timing during TCS operation. The lower this is set, the earlier the VCM will retard timing during TCS. (V6 only)

I see the last 2 items only apply to V6. Anyway, how do I know if I have traction control? Is it the same as TQ MGMT?

I don't have a switch like on a Z06. Does it only come on AWD, 4WD or upper end vehicles like Caddy?

When I had my tune done, my tuner said there are 3 strangleholds on DBW trucks. IIRC, 1 @ TB, 1 in trans, & 1 in ?? I forgot, that was yrs ago. Said all have to be gone to do my tune. Speed limiter removed to do pulls & TQMgmt set to "full" abuse mode. Thoughts?

If you have TC you will have a botton. My 01 Yukon 4x4, 03 1500HD Quadrasteer 2wd, 05 Tahoe Z71, and my 06 Silverado SS all had it. Don't think it's a particular model that has it but rather a part of a particular package option.

That's along the lines of what I thought, I don't have that button.

So u can have TQ Mgmt & not have TCS. But if u have TCS, u automatically have TQ Mgmt.

Heck, (TQ Mgmt) is prolly on most GM cars & trucks. I've only been in a few GM cars since owning my truck. A C5 Z06, a new Malibu & tested @ GM a Cobalt SS S/C.
The new Cobalt SS T/C has a no lift shift feature; but if GM offers it for others to drive or I'll go to dealer & see if that turbo feels like +55HP. And I'll try the no lift shift too.

I don't have a button, either. I was hoping it was just a table that was zeroed out with my first tune, and would reactivate with the stock table put back in. Oh, well.

Maybe it will be like in dreams I typically have, where all of a sudden I will see a button that I never noticed before.
