By the way, RSC is part of AdvanceTrak... it is the Ford 'big Idea' component of Electronic Traction Control. This system, which incidentally spawned over 100 Ford patents, takes 'normal' electronic stability control system... which consists of circuitry designed to control yaw (or spin-out), Traction Control (when the system detects a loss of traction, it reduces engine power - and selectively applies brake force to the slipping wheel while simultaneously transferring power to the opposite wheel) and ABS... and augments it with Ford's exclusive Roll Stability Control. The RSC adds another 'channel' if you will - to a two axis gyroscopic controlled rate acceleration circuit. This new sensor senses the body Roll Angle and Roll Axis Rate. This is summed with the AdvanceTrak gyroscopically sensed Yaw Axis input. The magical thing is how they wrote software to account for the additional axis - and wrote control logic to manage the variables of engine speed, selective braking and power application to each wheel.
Amazing stuff... and overkill in the dirt. I love how the Raptor is set up to selectively override these nannies. Hats off to Jason and all for trying to make it more intuitive.
