How does the traction control system (TRC) work on Toyota?

Model: Toyota Toyota Various

In this video we can see how the TRC (Traction Control) works on the Toyota: it is a safety system that helps to maintain a secure grip on the road, especially in difficult conditions such as wet, icy or gravel roads. The TRC system uses a series of sensors that constantly monitor the rotation speed of each wheel; if a sensor detects that a wheel is slipping faster than the others, then the system intervenes. To counteract the slipping, the TRC acts on the brakes and reduces the engine power sent to the wheel that is losing grip. In this way, the torque is transferred to the wheels with greater traction, improving the stability of the vehicle. The TRC system works closely with the ABS, which prevents wheel lock during braking, while the TRC prevents slipping during acceleration.
