What is the difference between the two??
HEY yall!! new to the forums & new chevy owner here. ;-)
Well i went out and get myself a 2007 chevy mailibu 2 days ago. i love it.. aside from a few things in the interior which could have been put together better, tighter or not so cheaply.. ANYWAYS im pretty car savvy and i know just about every thing there is to know about this car (most gm's).. HOWEVER
My malibu HAS a traction control system but according the the owners manual and specs there r two different traction control systems. Traction control and "ENHANCED traction control" I have no idea which one i have and what the difference is between the two (i have been doing research with no luck) Im just curious.. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? IF there even is any...
i would also like to add that traction control is just for preventing wheel slipping during acceleration in rain or snow and is not an anti-skid system or electronic stability program or as gm calls there system "stabilitrac"
If anyone has an idea i would greatly appreciate it!
THANKS YALL!!

The Enhanced Traction System (ETS) is designed to limit wheel slip during acceleration. This objective is accomplished by cutting fuel to selected cylinders, retarding spark and upshifting the transmission. The EBCM monitors wheel speed slip through the ABS wheel speed sensors and determines the desired torque reduction needed to minimize wheel spin. The torque reduction the EBCM requests may result in a combination of fuel cutoff, spark retard, and upshifting the transmission, depending on the torque reduction required. This request is sent from the EBCM through the serial data link to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM then calculates and employs fuel cutoff and spark retard values to achieve the requested engine torque. If the EBCM determines that the engine torque reduction is not sufficient to minimize wheel spin, it will request a transmission upshift

Using sensors, StabiliTrak:
- Detects the difference between the steering wheel angle and the direction you're actually turning
- Applies quick, precise force to the appropriate brakes to help the driver control the vehicle's direction to help keep it on course
