The traction control system is basically used for driving your car in adverse conditions such as in snow, ice, rain or the poorly maintained roads. When you found the traction control system is damaged, then a warning light will be illuminated on the dashboard cluster either in form of an acronym TC or a small illuminated picture of the car's losing control. The traction system of your car uses the speed sensors when one or more car's wheels lose grip and traction. Here the given slides provide the reasons behind the occurrence of glowing traction control warning light in your car.

1. Reasons for Having a Glowing Traction Control
Warning Light

2. The traction control system
in your car exists as a driving
aid during adverse
conditions such as rain,
snow, ice or poorly
maintained roads.

3. And when the system is
faulty, it will illuminate a
warning light on the
dashboard cluster, which is
either in the form of the
acronym “TC” or a small
illuminated picture of a car
losing control.

4. The traction control uses
wheel speed sensors to know
when one or more of the
car's wheels lose grip and
traction.

5. When the system registers a
loss of traction in the wheels,
a computer will reduce
power to the wheels that are
still in good contact with the
road to prevent a skid.

6. Here are some of the common
reasons for having a glowing
traction control warning light on
your dashboard.
1-Malfunctioning ABS
2-Broken Speed Sensor
3-Faulty Traction Control Module

7. Malfunctioning
ABS

8. Traction control and ABS
systems, often use the same
control module and the
internal self-diagnostics
system.

9. As a result, sometimes an
issue in the ABS can put on
the traction control light as
well as the ABS light.

10. Broken
speed sensors

11. The speed sensors are
usually in the wheel bearing
assembly and determine the
rate at which each wheel is
moving.

12. These sensors, relay that
signal to the traction control
module, which determines
whether or not power should
be shifted.

13. Wheel speed sensors can get
dirty or damaged and stop
working, which stops the
traction control module from
knowing when to enable the
system.

14. Faulty
traction control
module

15. The traction module itself
can malfunction and
completely breakdown,
making the system to stop
working.

16. In such a case, the module
needs to be replaced
completely for securing your
drive to be safe and
comfortable.

17. Importance of
traction control
module

18. It is quite necessary to have
the traction control issue to
be resolved quickly in order
to avoid adverse driving
conditions.

19. While your car is unlikely to
incur further damage from a
faulty traction control
system, it won't be safe to
drive in the rain, snow or
other inclement weather.

20. Furthermore, the issue that
is causing the traction
control light to illuminate
could also be impacting the
ABS system of the car.
