Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

Bear in mind that this version of TC only works on the rear wheels and all it does is use the brakes to control a slipping wheel.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was under the impression that all 996s had traction control. Looking at my '99 996, I saw the TC button (found it in the owners manual) was a blank dummy. And a shop guy said TC wasn't introduced until later. How much later?

POST 2Original post

I have it in my '99 along with LSD and they are listed on the options tag. Edit: my '99 was built in late '98.

Mine was built in '98 as well. Maybe it was an option at that point??

Very interesting thread (I tried search, but didn't find this). PO didn't check the box, so I guess it's no TC (pre-PSM) for me. After all the nannies on my Cayman this will be fun!

POST 8Original post

Like isla my '99 has both TC and LSD. Bear in mind that this version of TC only works on the rear wheels and all it does is use the brakes to control a slipping wheel. It is rare for the LSD to be overwhelmed enough to invoke the TC, unless the car goes airborne. When TC is invoked a dash light lights which usually makes me chuckle. PASM is much more sophisticated but at the expense of being more intrusive.

POST 9Original post

My 99 has TC. Anybody happen to know the code number for LSD?

POST 10Original post

LSD is 220 and 224. 220 is the ratio for accelerating, 224 is the ratio for braking.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
