What does TC mean when displayed on a vehicle?

[KyleMarie]

TC stands for Traction Control System, which enhances the vehicle's passability. When the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) detects wheel slippage, it applies braking to the slipping wheel to prevent traction loss. During system operation, the yellow TC indicator on the dashboard flashes to alert the driver. Below is more information about the Traction Control System: 1. The Traction Control System is 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 starts, drive wheels may slip, especially on icy or slippery roads, leading to dangerous loss of control. The Traction Control System is designed to address these issues. 2. The Traction Control System uses electronic sensors to detect when driven wheels rotate slower than non-driven wheels (indicating slippage). It then sends signals to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, downshift, or apply braking to stop wheel slippage. 3. The Traction Control System improves driving stability, acceleration performance, and hill-climbing capability.
