TCS Function
2003 Nissan-Datsun Frontier Base, StandardSECTION TCS Function
- VDC/TCS/ABS control unit detects a spin at drive wheels by comparing wheel speed signals from all 4 wheels. At this time, output from control unit controls brake fluid pressure to spinning wheels while cutting fuel to engine to reduce engine torque.
- Depending on road circumstances, driver may have a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum traction has highest priority under TCS operation.
- When vehicle is passing through a road where surface friction coefficient varies, downshifting/upshifting or depressing accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
- During TCS operation, it informs driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
