What is ASR malfunction?

[LeFinley]

ASR refers to the Anti-Slip Regulation system malfunction. ASR, also known as the Acceleration Slip Regulation system, is an active safety device in vehicles, alternatively called the Traction Control System. It specifically addresses wheel slip phenomena during vehicle startup and acceleration, particularly in powerful vehicles, to maintain directional stability during driving. The functions of ASR are as follows: 1. Preventing tire slip: Its primary purpose is to prevent the driving wheels from slipping during acceleration, especially on special road surfaces with reduced friction such as rain, snow, hail, or icy conditions. It controls the slip ratio within a certain range during acceleration to prevent rapid wheel spin. 2. Preventing loss of directional control or tail swing: Rear-wheel-drive vehicles are prone to tail swing, while front-wheel-drive vehicles may experience loss of directional control. ASR enhances traction, ensuring driving stability and minimizing or alleviating such phenomena during acceleration.
