What action does Traction Control take during a slip?

Traction Control systems are designed to maintain optimal traction between the tires and the road, especially in slippery conditions. When a vehicle begins to slip—such as during acceleration on wet or icy pavement—the Traction Control system activates brake sensors. This system monitors the rotational speed of each wheel and can detect when one or more wheels are spinning faster than the others, indicating a loss of traction.

Upon detecting a slip, the Traction Control system applies the brakes selectively to the slipping wheel(s), which helps to limit wheel spin and allows the vehicle to regain traction. This process helps to stabilize the vehicle, improving control and preventing skidding. Thus, the action taken during a slip focuses specifically on managing wheel speed and ensuring that power is effectively transferred to the wheels with the most grip, emphasizing safety and control under challenging driving conditions.

Other options may involve different functionalities of vehicle systems but do not accurately describe the specific action taken by Traction Control in response to a slip situation.
