Definitely a DRIVE ABILITY PROBLEM to be sure. i was told it was part of the ride stability control to mitigate skidding conditions. i am a seasoned driver and been driving in Michigan winters forever. i am well versed on how to come out of a skid so i don't need the "training wheels".
The ABS system is fine when braking on icy roads; but I fail to see any advantage to this acceleration hesitation when accelerating under slippery conditions. (this really fries my a--, especially with a stick shift).
The torque converter on an automatic transmission is not in direct lock up when starting off from a light but with a manual transmission you are in a direct lockup situation and the shutter has to be working havoc on the power train upon starting out
The solution is to override the hesitation by eliminating the fuse that controls that circuit. The question is: does that also override the ABS system.
Any help on this guys??? WOULD BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED
Update from Feb 13, 2016: In addition to the ride stability control issue above I was told by the dealer service adviser that the rear brakes on my Ranger require new pads and the reason for this was that the ride stability control system prematurely wears out the rear brakes; (insult to injury).
Please please please advise me on which fuse controls the ride stability control.
