What does TC mean when displayed on a car?
1 Answers
When TC is displayed on a car, it means the Traction Control system is activated. The Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System, is designed to maintain the vehicle's trajectory in accordance with the driver's control. The Traction Control System relies on ABS sensors to process and respond to the information received from these sensors. When the system detects, through electronic sensors, that the driven wheels are rotating slower than the driving wheels, it sends signals to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease acceleration, downshift, or apply brakes to the wheels, thereby improving the vehicle's driving stability, acceleration, and climbing capability.
