Traction Control System: General Description: Features

The traction control system (TCL) is adopted for vehicles with 3.8L  engine.

• When a drive wheel is judged to be slipping by some reasons such as excessive accelerator pedal depression on a low friction road, the TCL applies brake force to the slipping drive wheel or lowers the engine output to suppress the drive wheel slippage.
• Fail-safe function ensures safety is maintained
• Diagnostic function provides improved serviceability
• To shorten the lines and enhance data transaxle reliability, communication with other ECU is performed over a CAN (Controller Area Network).
