Brakes after ESC and TCS were active a lot.

In cold weather when the ESC and TCS kicks in and you get out of your car do you see steam coming off of the brakes and can you smell them? Cause I can.

It could be steam not sure, but they get crazy hot in snow driving. I guess I am just pushing the ESC and TCS too hard.

TCS applies brakes to the spinning wheel in order to get the other wheel to pull. If you're spinning a lot you can get that side REALLY hot. If it gets to that point you'll definitely smell them.
