What does it mean when a vehicle displays 'TC'?
1 Answers
When a vehicle displays 'TC', it refers to the traction control being turned off, indicating a malfunction in the traction control system. The traction control system is also known as the track control system. When a car brakes on a slippery surface, it may skid due to insufficient friction, leading to a loss of control. Similarly, during rapid acceleration or when starting the car, the drive wheels may also skid. The traction control system ensures the car maintains sufficient control stability under these conditions. If the traction control system is used in conjunction with the ABS system, it can further enhance the safety of the vehicle. However, the traction control system does not guarantee absolute safety; it only reduces the probability and severity of accidents.
