What does the TC slash displayed in the car mean?

The TC slash displayed in the car indicates that the traction control is turned off. The TC light is the traction control system. When the anti-lock braking system detects that some wheels are slipping, it will apply brakes to the slipping wheels to prevent the loss of traction on those wheels. Here is some related information: The traction control system can improve the vehicle's passability. When the system is working, the yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard flashes to alert the driver. 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. The sensor transmits the information of the accelerator pedal to the ECU, which generates a control voltage signal based on the signal. Then, the servo motor adjusts the throttle according to the signal, thereby reducing the throttle opening and controlling wheel slip.
The TC light with a slash displayed in the car is quite important and needs explanation. TC stands for Traction Control System, and when that small slash lights up, it means the system is turned off. Normally, it acts like an invisible bodyguard, preventing wheel slippage during rainy or snowy weather. If it lights up without you manually turning it off, it might be due to accidentally pressing the TC button near the steering wheel or the sensors being covered in mud. I recommend trying to turn off the engine and restart it first. If the light remains on, you'll need to check the wheel speed sensors and wiring. Last time, my friend's car had this light on during heavy rain and almost spun out on a curve—it's really not something to take lightly. It's best to get it checked at a repair shop as soon as possible, because safety is no joke.
