What does the TC slash displayed on a car mean?
1 Answers
When a car displays a TC slash, it indicates a fault in the Traction Control system. TC stands for Traction Control, which translates to Traction Control System. The purpose of this system is to enhance the stability of the car while driving, especially for rear-wheel-drive vehicles. The key component of the Traction Control system lies in the sensors of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). These sensors process and provide feedback on the information they receive. When the received wheel speed is lower than the driving wheel speed, the system precisely adjusts aspects such as the car's ignition timing, valve opening, and throttle to prevent the car from skidding. The Traction Control System and the Anti-lock Braking System work in tandem, playing a crucial role in vehicle safety and driving stability. With current technology, this system is widely supported and implemented in vehicles across various regions. It is important not to turn off this system while driving, as doing so significantly increases the risk of losing control of the vehicle due to the absence of these electronic control systems, leading to potentially uncontrollable situations.
