2117295 9311959 PCTABS00022 A traction control system includes speed sensors (36, 38) associated with a pair of drive wheels (14, 16) for monitoring a vehicle drive train for a pronounced vibration indicative of wheel slip and other speed sensors (40, 42) associated with a pair of non-driving wheels (18, 20) for monitoring vehicle speed. An electronic control unit (52) compares a magnitude of the vibration to a threshold duration that varies with vehicle speed for detecting wheel slip and outputs two command signals for controlling restriction of a differential (24) and a position of engine throttle (32). Differential restriction is increased as a function of a duration of the vibration and decreased as a function of vehicle speed. Engine output power is decreased as a function of a difference between the duration of the vibration and a threshold duration that decreases with increases in vehicle speed.
