Traction Control System uses wheel speed sensors to monitor for slip during acceleration. If a wheel spins faster than the others, the system intervenes by automatically applying brake pressure to the slipping wheel or reducing engine power via the throttle control. This maximizes grip on wet, icy, or loose surfaces.
