What does TCS mean?
1 Answers
TCS stands for Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System. It determines whether the drive wheels are slipping by comparing the rotation speed of the drive wheels with that of the driven wheels. 1. When the former is greater than the latter, it suppresses the rotation speed of the drive wheels. 2. Its operation mode is very similar to ABS, as both use sensors and brake regulators. Additional Information: 1. When TCS detects wheel slip, it first adjusts the engine ignition timing through the engine control computer to reduce torque output or applies brakes to the slipping wheel. In cases of severe slipping, it further controls the engine fuel supply system. 2. During TCS operation, the transmission maintains a higher gear to prevent sudden downshifts when the throttle is increased, thereby avoiding wheel slip.
