TC in a car stands for Traction Control System. Here is some relevant information: Introduction to Traction Control System: The Traction Control System, also known as the Anti-Slip Regulation system. When a car brakes on a slippery surface, the wheels may skid, and the direction may even become uncontrollable. When the car starts or accelerates rapidly, the drive wheels may also skid, and on slippery surfaces such as ice and snow, this can lead to dangerous loss of control. The Traction Control System is designed to address this issue. The system relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels are moving slower than the drive wheels. It then sends a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease fuel supply, downshift, or apply brakes to the wheels, thereby preventing wheel skidding. How the Traction Control System Works: The Traction Control System works by replacing the mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle with an electronic throttle control device. Sensors transmit the accelerator pedal's information to the ECU. The ECU then generates a control voltage signal based on this input. A servo motor adjusts the throttle according to this signal, reducing throttle opening and controlling wheel skidding. For drivers operating their vehicles in rainy or snowy conditions, this system can help minimize skidding or loss of control.
