What does TC mean when displayed on a vehicle?

When a vehicle displays TC, it refers to the Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System. Its primary function is to enhance the vehicle's drivability. When the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) detects that some wheels are slipping, the Traction Control System applies braking to the slipping wheels, thereby preventing the loss of traction on those wheels. The working principle of the Traction Control System involves replacing the mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle with an electronic throttle control device. The ECU (Engine Control Unit) receives the accelerator pedal information transmitted by sensors and generates a control voltage signal based on this input. The motor then adjusts the throttle according to the voltage signal, reducing the throttle opening and controlling wheel slip.
