What does TCS traction control system mean?

Traction Control System, also known as the Traction Control System. When a car brakes on a slippery road surface, the wheels may skid, even causing loss of directional control. Similarly, during startup or rapid acceleration, the drive wheels may also skid, posing a danger on slippery surfaces like ice and snow, leading to loss of directional control. The Traction Control System is designed to address this issue. Expansion: Working Principle: The Traction Control System relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheel speed is lower than the drive wheel (a characteristic of skidding), then sends a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease throttle input, downshift, or apply wheel braking, thereby preventing the wheels from skidding.
The TCS (Traction Control System) is essentially a technology that automatically helps stabilize your car when it's skidding. For instance, when driving in rainy or snowy conditions, wheels tend to spin on muddy roads. I've relied on it to save me several times when driving on mountain roads. This system constantly monitors the speed of the wheels. If it detects that a wheel is about to skid, it immediately intervenes by reducing the engine power sent to that wheel or applying slight braking to the problematic wheel, allowing the car to regain traction and avoid losing control or rolling over. This is especially useful for winter driving, particularly on icy roads. A friend of mine had an accident in a car without this feature, whereas cars with TCS engaged feel much safer. In short, its primary purpose is to enhance safety, working in conjunction with other systems like ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to make driving smoother, more fuel-efficient, and worry-free.
