What does the TC light with a slash mean in the Envision?

The TC light with a slash in the Envision is the Traction Control System indicator. Press the button below the gear shift mechanism, then turn off the ignition and restart to reset the system, and the TC light with a slash will turn off. If the warning light remains on or comes back on while driving, repairs are needed. Possible causes for the TC light to illuminate include: solenoid valve failure; dirty oil clogging the solenoid valve filter; wear on the actuator gear and impeller, causing oil pressure leakage and triggering the alarm; dirty throttle with an opening reaching 20%; or the engine computer misjudging a TC fault. The working principle of the Traction Control System is to replace the mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the throttle with an electronic throttle control device. Sensors transmit the accelerator pedal information to the ECU, which generates a control voltage signal based on this information. The motor then adjusts the throttle according to the signal, reducing throttle opening and controlling wheel slip. For drivers operating the vehicle in rainy or snowy conditions, this can help reduce occurrences of wheel slip or loss of control.
