What does the yellow TC light in a car mean?
1 Answers
The yellow TC light with a slash on a car's dashboard represents the Traction Control System, also known as the Traction Control System. Normally, this indicator light appears when the car is first started, as the system automatically checks the status of the traction control system. Once the check is completed successfully, the light will turn off. If the light remains on, it could mean that the traction control system has been manually turned off. In this case, you need to locate the system's control switch (usually found near the gear shift lever) and turn it back on. If the traction control system was not accidentally turned off, there might be a fault in the system. It is important to promptly identify the issue and its cause. If a fault is confirmed, the car should be taken to a professional repair shop for servicing. A malfunctioning traction control system can prevent the car from achieving optimal traction, leading to difficulties in smooth starting and accelerating on slippery surfaces. In severe cases, the drive wheels may spin without moving the car forward.
