Does turning on TCS increase fuel consumption?
1 Answers
Turning on TCS does not increase fuel consumption. TCS refers to the Traction Control System, which determines whether the drive wheels are slipping based on the speed of the drive wheels and the transmission wheels. If slipping occurs, the traction control system will suppress the output. Therefore, keeping TCS on does not increase fuel consumption. Function of TCS: Its role is to control direction and improve traction when the car slips, preventing loss of control. Principle of TCS: It determines whether the drive wheels are slipping based on the rotation speed of the drive wheels and the transmission wheels. When the former is greater than the latter, it suppresses the rotation speed of the drive wheels as a slip control system. When the drive wheels slip, it uses the braking system to increase the brake fluid pressure of the slipping wheel, applying appropriate braking to limit wheel slip.
