Section 72 (Traction Control System (TCL)): General Description: Features: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Traction Control System (TCL) is adopted for vehicles with 3.8L engine.

When a drive wheel is judged to be slipping by some reasons such as excessive accelerator pedal depression on a low friction road, the TCL applies brake force to the slipping drive wheel or lowers the engine output to suppress the drive wheel slippage.
Fail-safe function ensures safety is maintained
Diagnostic function provides improved serviceability
To shorten the lines and enhance data transaxle reliability, communication with other ECU is performed over a CAN (Controller Area Network).
