What does TC mean on a car?

[LaAdam]

TC stands for Traction Control System, which improves the vehicle's passability. When the ABS anti-lock braking system detects that some wheels are slipping, it applies braking to the slipping wheels to prevent traction loss on those wheels. When the system is active, the yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard flashes to alert the driver. More information about the Traction Control System is as follows: 1. The Traction Control System is also known as the Track Control System. When braking on slippery roads, the wheels may slip, even causing loss of directional control. 2. The Traction Control System relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels' speed is lower than that of the driving wheels (a sign of slipping). It then sends a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease acceleration, downshift, or brake the wheels to prevent further slipping.
