What does the tc slash displayed on the vehicle mean?
1 Answers
When the vehicle displays a tc slash, it indicates that the traction control is turned off, where 'tc' stands for the traction control system. When the ABS anti-lock braking system detects wheel slippage, the traction control system applies braking to the slipping wheel to prevent loss of traction. When the system is active, the yellow 'tc' indicator light on the dashboard flashes to alert the driver. The function of the traction control system is to ensure the vehicle achieves optimal traction under various driving conditions. If the driver accidentally turns off the traction control switch next to the gear lever, the indicator light will also illuminate. If it is confirmed that the switch was not accidentally pressed, it indicates a fault in the traction control system.
