What does TC mean?

TC is the abbreviation of Traction Control System, which means the traction control system. More information about the traction control system is as follows: 1. The traction control system is also called ASR or TRC, and its function is to enable the car to obtain the best traction under various driving conditions. 2. The control device of the traction control system is a computer, which uses the computer to detect the speed of the four wheels and the steering angle of the steering wheel. When the car accelerates, if it detects that the speed difference between the drive wheel and the non-drive wheel is too large, the computer immediately judges that the driving force is too large and sends a signal to reduce the fuel supply of the engine, thereby reducing the driving force and the slip rate of the drive wheel.
I've been driving for over ten years and am quite familiar with the term TC. It usually stands for Traction Control, an important feature in vehicles that automatically prevents wheel slip, especially during rainy, snowy conditions or when turning. I remember once driving in mountainous areas with slippery roads when the TC light suddenly came on. The system immediately reduced engine power, allowing the car to drive steadily and avoid the risk of losing control. Its principle is that when sensors detect a wheel spinning too fast, the computer adjusts brake or throttle output to maintain balance. This system is related to ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and significantly enhances safety. When driving normally, I recommend not turning it off unless in special situations, like being stuck in mud and needing to get out. Overall, it makes driving more reassuring and is a feature worth paying attention to when buying a car.
