What does TC mean when it appears on the car dashboard?

TC stands for Traction Control System, which improves vehicle passability. When the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) detects wheel slippage, it applies braking to the slipping wheel to prevent traction loss on that wheel. When the system is active, a yellow TC indicator light flashes on the dashboard to alert the driver. Here are additional details: 1. When braking on slippery surfaces, the wheels may slip, potentially causing loss of directional control. 2. During startup or rapid acceleration, the drive wheels may also slip, which can be dangerous on icy or slippery surfaces, leading to loss of control. 3. The system uses electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels are rotating slower than the drive wheels, sending a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease fuel supply, downshift, or apply braking to prevent wheel slippage. 4. This system enhances driving stability, improves acceleration performance, and increases climbing capability.
