What people have found is even with traction controll off, engine power can get cut still when in auto mode on the transmission. Seems like its extreme stuff, so I have not encountered. I jsut am not sure what the trip point is. a few youtube rock crawler mentioned they always switch to manual mode..Think of "traction control" as separate from the brake lock differential. The dash button is for traction control on/off in 2WD/4WD high. Best used on packed snow/ice highway driving speeds where if you started spinning the engine would cut power to reduce a spin out that could put you in a ditch. If pushing through deep snow or driving in sand or mud (at slower than highway speeds) you don't want it on as you don't want the engine to pull back power, you need to keep your tires churning and maintain momentum.
Brake lock diff is always on in 2wd/4wd and does not cut engine power. 4wd Lo disables traction control. Basically i would push the button and turn off TC for off road use.
