Pretty sure Traction Control is working to a certain degree. I have been noticing it for awhile now. Yesterday I had the traction off as it was raining and I wanted to do some testing. I turned it back on, traction light flashed and the car felt like it cut throttle for a second until light stopped flashing and went back to normal. Not sure if throttle or maybe brakes?? Anyway. Need to do more testing.
The vehicle really has no way to cut throttle unfortunately. Might be wishful thinking.
