What is TCS?
1 Answers
TCS stands for Traction Control System, which functions to control direction and improve traction when a vehicle skids, preventing loss of control. The Traction Control System determines whether the drive wheels are slipping by comparing the rotation speed of the drive wheels with that of the driven wheels. When the former exceeds the latter, it suppresses the rotation speed of the drive wheels as a form of anti-skid control. Vehicle traction control can be achieved by reducing throttle opening to decrease engine power or through brake control and wheel slip. Vehicles equipped with ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation) utilize both methods, combining ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASR.
