oh crap whats that noise

[paroxysym]

i get the same thing but its when its snowing or wet out and i cut the wheel trying to turn- it makes the ice crusher sound and i can kind of feel it in my steering wheel. i figured it was traction control kicking on BUT i got tired of that kicking on last night so i turned it off and it was still making it just NOT as bad.

i was wondering if its fluid related, or the tires rubbing the hell out of the fender liner, idk. it sounds horrible.

Unless you have a switch wired up to the ABS pump fuse the traction control is not totally disabled and will still make the same noise as if you have the traction control on. I know this because it does it in my jeep, so when it snows I just flip the "happy switch" and totally disable traction control/ABS/ESP

so even when i hold the ESP button for 6+ seconds and it says "ESP OFF" its not off? i did that last night and it was fine.

The brake traction control activation is never turned off. When you turn ESP off its different levels of throttle control that are eliminated; such as wheel spin when accelerating and throttle cutoff when sliding sideways.

Unless you have a switch to the ABS pump fuse like I have :0)

Which doesn't do anyone any good unless they have lockers like you do or want 1 wheel peel offroad

Just went for a spin and heard the noise too! Interesting i've never heard that before... but I can't remember the last time my Jeep sat outside in that cold, and I normally don't hit the gas that hard to accelerate.

Will have to see if it does it tomorrow morning after sitting in the garage all night.

Yeah one wheel peel isn't cool. And that my friend is why I have front/rear lockers!
