What does it mean when the TC light comes on in the car?

TC stands for Traction Control System, which improves the vehicle's passability. When the ABS anti-lock system detects wheel slippage, it applies braking to the slipping wheel to prevent loss of traction. Below is relevant information about the Traction Control System: 1. Purpose: The Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System. When braking on slippery surfaces, wheels may skid, potentially causing loss of directional control. Similarly, during acceleration or sudden acceleration, drive wheels may also skid, posing dangers like loss of control on icy or slippery roads. The Traction Control System is designed to address these issues. 2. Preventing Slippage: The Traction Control System relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheel speed is lower than the drive wheel (indicating slippage), then sends signals to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease acceleration, downshift, or apply wheel braking to stop the slippage. 3. Improving Stability: The Traction Control System not only enhances driving stability but also improves acceleration and climbing capability.
