Section 70 (Traction Control/Active Skid Control System): General Description: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Traction Control/Active Skid Control System (TCL/ASC) is available for 3.8L engine "S" grade models as optional equipment.

The TCL/ASC is a combination system of active skid control system (ASC) and traction control system (TCL). The ASC avoids a dangerous vehicle attitude by limiting the engine output and braking a set of wheels (front left and right rear, or right front and left rear) according to driving conditions. The TCL prevents wheel spinning at vehicle start.
