The "traction control system" has nothing to with actual traction. It simply senses tire slip from the ABS sensors and kills cylinders until the slipping is gone. Does not apply the brakes, or anything.
It doesn't kill cylinders, it decreases spark advance, till the desired enough torque has been removed, to allow the wheels to get traction. No there is a limit, on how much torque can be removed and keep the engine running. So you may still slip your tires.
