What does the tc displayed on the car mean?

The tc displayed on the car means the traction control system is working. The traction control system, also known as the track control system or drive anti-slip system, is part of the car's active safety system. Its function is to ensure the car obtains optimal traction under various driving conditions. The control device of the traction control system is a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering wheel angle. When the car accelerates, if the computer detects an excessive speed difference between the driving wheels and non-driving wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is too high and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby lowering the driving force and decreasing the slip rate of the driving wheels. The computer also uses the steering wheel angle sensor to understand the driver's steering intention, then employs the left and right wheel speed sensors to detect the speed difference between the wheels, assessing whether the car's turning degree matches the driver's steering intention.
