What Does Traction Control Failure Mean?

[VanDaniella]

Traction control failure refers to the situation where the transmission system of wheeled vehicles such as cars, railway locomotives, and bicycles cannot generate sufficient torque to rotate the wheels. Causes of traction control failure and corresponding solutions: Fuel system malfunction: Reduced fuel injection due to fuel system issues, such as clogged injectors, low fuel pressure, or impurities in gasoline. Solutions include replacing fuel, injectors, spark plugs, or the fuel pump. Inaccurate air measurement: Discrepancy between detected and actual air intake due to inaccurate air measurement. This requires inspecting and replacing the air flow meter or oxygen sensor. How the traction control system works: The traction control system is managed by a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering wheel angle. During acceleration, if the computer detects a significant speed difference between the driven and non-driven wheels, it immediately identifies excessive driving force and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force and reducing wheel slip. If the computer detects understeer or oversteer, it similarly reduces the driving force to align with the driver's steering intentions.
