What does it mean when the car displays 'tc' with a slash?

When the car displays 'tc' with a slash, it indicates that the traction control is turned off. This is a status of one of the car's functions and does not mean there is a fault with the car. The vehicle can still be driven normally. 'tc' stands for the traction control system, which improves the vehicle's passability. When the ABS anti-lock braking system detects that some wheels are slipping, it applies brakes to the slipping wheels to prevent the loss of traction on those wheels. The role of the traction control system is to ensure the car obtains optimal traction under various driving conditions. The control device of the traction control system is a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering angle of the wheel. When accelerating, if the computer detects an excessive speed difference between the driving wheels and non-driving wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is too high and sends a signal to reduce the fuel supply to the engine, thereby lowering the driving force and reducing the slip rate of the driving wheels.
