What does the TC light in a car mean?
1 Answers
The TC light in a car stands for Traction Control System. This system, like the ABS system and Brake Force Distribution system, enhances driving safety. When the traction control system is active, a warning light on the dashboard will flash. If this light remains constantly illuminated without turning off, it indicates a malfunction in the TC system. The traction control system relies on sensors to collect data. When the speed of the driven wheels is lower than that of the driving wheels, it indicates wheel slippage. The traction control system will then adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, and apply braking to the wheels to prevent further slippage.
