Tldr.

Torsen lsd. If one side unlocks entirely it acts like an open diff.

The way it intervenes with the long press is more subtle. I wouldn't mind the e-diff if there was a way to enable/disable it on the fly. I might even choose to use it.

Again, with the long press I've never had it pull throttle either. I've done full 360's, drifted all the way around a skidpad (and then done a 360), etc.

I'll have to log in order to verify but at higher speeds, I could swear it doesn't let the driver get crazy.

Well, that's just the engine being wimpy.

JK. I have heard secondhand of it turning back on if you get too crazy with the long button press, but while things are off, they are off.

For what it's worth, I can spin/slide at a mild angle at 45+MPH without interference in several inches of snow.

It only intervenes if you do something where it thinks you're out of control.

Sliding =/= out of control, especially with an experienced driver!

I'll also add here that I don't believe that the light flashing means that it's interfering but just detecting slip. On my car it flashes but I know it's not intervening if I have done the long button push. I have also had mine on a skid pan and not needed anything more to pull off drifts, but the instructor had a car that sometimes needed pedal dance or the VSC/TCS would occasionally restore.

Guys
The light that came on the other day.
Is it just the vsc intervention?or anything else(on long press)

Edit:
Have found that one:

Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

In that case:when this light is flashing its possibility of trc or vsc intervention.
I think trc cant be really felt on the long press mode ,only the vsc and very lightly.
At the other day i didnt feel like the car try to correct me as i only saw that light flashes but the car keept on its drift way-maybe its just an indicator for the car to pronounce=one of the wheels is loosing contact with the surface.
Might be cool to check that out with one wheel on the air and see how it reacts.

I'm convinced that different years have different logic. And I'm no talking about pre/post refresh vehicles. I swear every time I get into an argument with someone who had issues with traction/stability control intervening even with the "3 second hold," they always seem to own a 13/14. In 4+ years of ownership with this car (a 15), I've NEVER had it ever cut throttle no matter how wild things get. Odd...

I have the o.g. 86 nanny that just does the 3 second hold at start up. The ONLY time it does anything is when ediff engages. I'm pretty sure 95% of the others complaining just can't drive

2013 and never had it reduce throttle in "off" mode. It definitely does in ON and VSC sport, and I have felt the ediff working in all 3 modes. If you don't know what the ediff is doing maybe it feels like VSC is on and doing something? It does suck a bit of energy.

seriously in my opinion i think all that pedal dance method is total bullshit-its just another way to turn off the lights like the 3sec does
ive just tried it out and it feels the same as the 3sec press.
also same lights flashes on the dash.

it doesnt matter how bad driver you are -OFF should means OFF .
so if its off even if your the worst driver in the world the nannies arent supposed to do anything otherwise if anyone is complaining so its the car to blame OR the car supposed to be like that -no 100% off at all.
i think the light that came on (VSC/TRC nanny)it was just the Ediff intervening and nothing else.
i dont think anything except of the ediff is working on 3sec button ,and when it does (The car sliding light on the dash like posted above)flashes. and not because anything else is intervening.
