Not really. If it detects wheel slippage it will cut the throttle. It's just Nissan's nomenclature for "electrical traction control". Goes by the name of DSC, TRC, E-Diff, etc. But it's all the same thing.

Your foot (gas pedal) isn't actually connected to the throttle plate. It's all done by electronics. Hence the term DBW, "drive by wire".
