What does the TC indicator on the vehicle dashboard mean?

Automobile dashboards provide drivers with necessary operational parameter information. When the dashboard displays "TC", the specific reasons are as follows: 1. When the "TC" indicator light flashes on the dashboard, it indicates that the "Traction Control System" is active. "TC" is the abbreviation for Traction Control System, which refers to the anti-skid control system, also known as the traction control system. When braking or accelerating sharply on slippery roads, wheels are prone to skidding or even losing directional control, posing a hazard. To address such safety issues, the traction control system was developed. 2. The traction control system relies on ABS anti-lock braking system electronic sensors. When it detects that the speed of the driven wheel is lower than that of the driving wheel (indicating wheel skid), it sends a feedback signal to the vehicle system. The vehicle system then adjusts ignition timing, reduces throttle opening, decreases throttle input, downshifts, or applies braking to the wheels to prevent skidding.
