What does TC with a slash mean?
1 Answers
When the TC with a slash icon appears on the dashboard, it indicates that the traction control is turned off. TC stands for Traction Control System in English, which is designed to provide optimal traction for the vehicle under various driving conditions. Below is an introduction to the Traction Control System: 1. The Traction Control System relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels' speed is lower than that of the driving wheels (a sign of wheel slip). It then sends a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease fuel supply, downshift, or apply braking to the wheels to prevent further slipping. 2. The Traction Control System uses a computer to monitor the speed of all four wheels and the steering wheel's angle. When accelerating, if the system detects a significant speed difference between the driving and non-driving wheels, the computer immediately determines excessive driving force and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing driving force and reducing the slip rate of the driving wheels.
