What does the TCS light mean?
1 Answers
When this indicator light is illuminated, it indicates that the TCS (Traction Control System) has been turned off; if the TCS ON mode remains lit, it suggests there may be a fault in the TCS system. Below is more information about the TCS light: 1. Consequences: If a fault occurs, the vehicle can still be driven, but in extreme cases, it may lead to side slipping, tail flicking, insufficient traction, and other conditions that could potentially cause various accidents. 2. Introduction: The Traction Control System, abbreviated as TCS, is designed to ensure the vehicle obtains optimal traction under various driving conditions. The control device for the traction control system is a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering wheel angle. When the vehicle accelerates, if the computer detects a significant speed difference between the drive wheels and non-drive wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is excessive and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply and decrease the driving force.
