What does the TRC OFF indicator on a Toyota vehicle mean?
1 Answers
TRC stands for Traction Control System, and OFF means it is deactivated. Combined, TRC OFF indicates that the Traction Control System is turned off. Below is an introduction to the Traction Control System: 1. Function: It prevents wheel spin when driving on slippery surfaces such as snow, ensuring smooth starting and acceleration. When the drive wheels slip, it applies braking force to limit the slip. During acceleration while turning, it also helps the vehicle to steer smoothly and controls the risk of skidding on steep slopes or rough rocky roads. 2. Precautions: If the TRC OFF indicator lights up while driving, first reduce speed and drive cautiously, avoiding sharp turns and sudden acceleration. Then, take the vehicle to a nearby 4S shop for inspection. Of course, it could also be due to accidentally pressing the TRC switch, in which case pressing it again may turn the system back on, and the TRC OFF indicator will disappear.
