Abstract
Abstract A drive slip control system for a motor vehicle which brakes a driven wheel when that wheel begins to slip and which reduces engine torque when both driven wheels begin to slip on the pavement. The action of the drive slip control system is inhibited when the engine speed falls below a preset speed, such as the engine idle speed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A drive slip control system for a motor vehicle having two driven wheels and brakes at each of said driven wheels, said control system comprising: means for determining when at least one of the driven wheels is slipping, actuator means for applying brake pressure to the brakes at at least one of the driven wheels when slipping is determined, means for comparing the engine speed with a preset speed, and means for preventing said actuator means from applying brake pressure at said at least one of said driven wheels when the engine speed falls below the preset speed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A drive slip control system for a motor vehicle having two driven wheels and brakes at each of said driven wheels, said control system comprising: means for determining when at least one of the driven wheels is slipping, actuator means for applying brake pressure to the brakes at at least one of the driven wheels when slipping is determined, means for comparing the engine speed with a preset speed, and means for preventing said actuator means from applying brake pressure at said at least one of said driven wheels when the engine speed falls below the preset speed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The control system defined in claim 1 wherein said preset speed is the engine idle speed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The control system defined in claim 1, further comprising means for reducing engine torque when both of said driven wheels are slipping.
