What Happens When the TRC is Disabled?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Onboard computer

The TRC (Traction Control) is a system installed on Toyota vehicles. It works closely with the ABS. The system prevents wheel slip, providing reliable road traction at all times. It ensures efficient use of the engine's torque when driving on surfaces with varying grip and improves vehicle stability on slippery surfaces. It is advisable to disable the TRC when driving on unpaved or snowy roads to enhance the vehicle's off-road performance. In this case, the corresponding warning light on the dashboard will illuminate, reminding the driver that the system has been disabled.
