What does TC mean when displayed on the car?

TC stands for Traction Control, which enhances 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 loss of traction. When the system is active, a yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard flashes to alert the driver. Below is a detailed explanation of the Traction Control System: 1. The Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System. When braking on slippery surfaces, the wheels may slip, even causing loss of directional control. Similarly, during acceleration or sudden acceleration, the drive wheels may also slip, posing a risk of losing control on icy or other slippery surfaces. The Traction Control System is designed to address this issue. 2. The Traction Control System relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels' speed is lower than that of the drive wheels (a sign of slipping). It then sends a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease acceleration, downshift, or apply braking to the wheels to prevent further slipping. 3. The Traction Control System not only improves driving stability but also enhances acceleration and climbing ability.
