What does the TC indicator on the GL8 dashboard mean?
1 Answers
When the TC light appears on the GL8 dashboard, it indicates a malfunction in the traction control system. What is TC: The Traction Control System (TCS), also known as the Anti-Slip Regulation system, aims to prevent wheel slippage during acceleration or startup, especially in high-power vehicles, to maintain driving stability. When this warning light is illuminated, the system reduces engine power to limit wheel spin, which may affect normal acceleration. The traction control system relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels rotate slower than the driving wheels. Upon detection, it sends signals to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, downshift, or apply braking to prevent wheel slippage. GL8 Specifications: The new vehicle continues to be equipped with a 2.0T engine delivering 237 horsepower and 350N-m of peak torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
