When the TC light comes on in a Cadillac, it indicates that the Traction Control system has been turned off. TC stands for Traction Control. The Traction Control system is a standard feature in almost every vehicle and plays a crucial role in ensuring driving stability and safety. The Traction Control system activates when the drive wheels experience slippage. In such cases, the system limits the engine's power output and applies braking to the slipping wheels, preventing further slippage and helping the tires regain better traction for smoother driving. There are several similar auxiliary systems in vehicles, such as the Brake Force Distribution system, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and ABS (Anti-lock Braking System).
