The purpose of it is to sense what speed your wheels are turning (in comparison to each other) while accelerating, or if they would go into lockup when brakeing. They are solenoids that pulsate your brakes to maintain tire speed rotation with each other. They will hold the wheels back to prevent traction loss while accelerating to hard, or releases them by pulsating if they go into lockup :? make sense? Thats why you feel a pulsating if you brake real hard, but not to be mistaken by a wobbling set of wheels

She was asking for traction control, not ABS. Traction control is only taking off. All that does is reduce the power so you can catch grip.
