Traction control system ||This article needs additional
citations for verification. (January 2010)| A traction control
system (TCS), also known as anti-slip regulation (ASR), is
typically (but not necessarily) a secondary function of the
anti-lock braking system (ABS) on production motor vehicles,
designed to prevent loss of traction of driven road wheels. When
invoked it therefore enhances driver control as throttle input
applied is mis-matched to road surface conditions (due to
varying factors) being unable to manage applied torque.
Intervention consists of one or more of the following: - Reduces
or suppress spark sequence to one or more cylinders - Reduce
fuel supply to one or more cylinders - Brake force applied at
one or more wheels - Close the throttle, if the vehicle is
fitted with drive by wire throttle - In turbo-charged vehicles,
a boost control solenoid can be actuated to reduce boost and
therefore engine power. Typically, traction control systems
share the electro-hydraulic brake actuator (but doe
