Abstract
A traction control system for a motor vehicle has a four wheel steering device for controlling a steering characteristic of the vehicle based on a yaw rate difference between an actual yaw rate and a target yaw rate of the vehicle. The traction control system further has a device for controlling driven torque applied to a driven wheel while a slip is generated in the driven wheel. A correction device is used for correcting the driven torque to be small as a wheel steering angle becomes large while the four wheel steering device is operated.
