TCS Features

The TCS provides low speed traction. When a drive wheel loses traction on a slippery road surface and starts to spin, the VSA control unit sends a brake signal to the modulator unit, which applies brake pressure to slow the spinning wheel. At that time, the VSA control unit sends a traction control signal to reduce engine power.
