Traction Control System Operation

The Antilock Brake System and the Traction Control System (ABS VI/TCS) are both part of the same hydraulic and electric system. Both systems use many of the same components and a problem in either system may disable the other system until it is repaired. Antilock braking controls wheel slip when braking; traction control controls wheel slip when accelerating.
