ABSTRACT:
In a traction control device for a vehicle which is equipped with a multi-cylinder engine, fuel supply is cut for a specific cylinder when a slip factor of the drive wheels exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The device comprises a sensor for detecting the engine load, and when the engine load becomes larger than a predetermined load, the threshold value is increased. As a result, the engine operation region wherein fuel cut is performed is narrowed under the high engine load and overheating of the catalytic converter due to fuel cut under the high engine load is thereby prevented.
