When wheel slip is detected, the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) will activate the traction control mode.

A signal is sent from the EBCM to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) commanding less torque to the drive wheels.

Torque is reduced by retarding the ignition timing and by controlling the throttle control actuator.

I don't know if that will help or not.
