The more weight over the drive wheels, the more traction.
A front wheel drive car has the weight of the engine of the car to help with traction as for the rear wheel does not have the engine weighing it down so there is less traction.
When a rear-wheel drive vehicle loses traction in a corner and goes into a skid, it is called
Superior traction off the road.
If you have made the correct repairs, a short drive will clear the light.
No, the traction control system will not work but no damage will be done. You can drive it in this condition if you wish.
All wheel drive is automatic:no driver interaction is needed.The system senses a loss of traction and redirects available engine torque to the wheels that have the most traction and away from the wheels that are slipping.

If you are having issue with the anti-lock breaking system or you are seeing the "traction" light coming on at different times, you will have take a look at the wheel speed sensor circuits. These are the main sensors that drive this system.
If the abs/traction light is on you have a problem with the system. When the problem is fixed the light will reset itself after a short drive.
To let the drive know that the traction control is on.
The traction control system has engaged and is applying the brakes and / or altering the power to the drive wheels to control wheel slip. Read your owners manual for specifics.
Some vehicles equipped with a traction control that have both 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive options can turn off traction control before putting the vehicle in gear by switching the vehicle from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive. Vehicles that have 4 wheel drive all the time usually do not allow for traction control to be turned off.
There is no such thing as a 'traction control sensor'.But, If you are referring to the "Traction Control System", there are Many components that make up the Traction Control System.The heart of Traction Control System is the "EBCM" (Electric Brake Control Module). The EBCM monitors the wheel speed sensors for Drive Wheel Slip. When drive wheel slip is noted while the brake is not applied, the EBCM will enter "Traction Control Mode".When vehicle enters Traction Control Mode, the EBCM sends a request to the "PCM" (Power Control Module) to reduce the amount of torque to the drive wheels. If the engine torque reduction does not eliminate drive wheel slip, the EBCM will actively apply the drive wheel brakes.The EBCM in the 05' Buick Terraza is located on the "BPMV" (Brake Pressure Modulator Valve). In other words, the EBCM is mounted on the Antilock Brake Controller.

In front wheel drive the traction comes from the front wheels while in rear wheel drive traction power comes from the rear wheels.
