Traction Control System (TCS) Description

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONAL OPERATION

TCS (ASR)

The primary function of the Traction Control System is to reduce wheel slip and maintain traction at the driven wheels when the road surfaces are slippery. The Traction Control System reduces wheel slip by applying the brake that has lost traction. The system is designed to operate at speeds below 50 km/h (30 mph). The engine's torque can be reduced by the ECM via CAN C Bus, if necessary. The TCS can be switched off with a switch on the dash. The Traction Control System uses the ABS to indicate spinning tires to enable the traction control function. The TCS software is in the CAB.
