TC in a car stands for the Traction Control System. The introduction and working principle of TC are as follows: Introduction to the Traction Control System: The control device of the Traction Control System is a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering angle of the steering wheel. The Traction Control System, abbreviated as TCS, is also known as ASR or TRC. Its function is to ensure the car obtains optimal traction under various driving conditions. Working Principle of the Traction Control System: It can control the car's traction by reducing the throttle opening to decrease engine power or by using the brake to control wheel slip. In cars equipped with ASR, the mechanical connection from the accelerator pedal to the throttle of the gasoline engine is replaced by an electronic throttle control device.
