As you navigate the twists and turns of the road, your vehicle's traction control system silently plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and secure journey. While we are all familiar with that traction control light, understanding its function and addressing the question that often lingers in the minds of car owners are two things that need to be changed. Decoding the Traction Control System The traction control system (TCS) is a safety feature designed to prevent wheel spin during acceleration on slippery surfaces. It works in tandem with the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and other onboard sensors to detect when a wheel loses traction. Once identified, the system selectively applies brakes to the spinning wheel or reduced engine power, allowing the tire to regain traction. Preventing Wheel Spin The primary function of the traction control system is to prevent wheel spin as we just mentioned above, especially in scenarios like acceleration ... read more
