Abs/tcs increases vehicle steerability, directional stability and optimum deceleration in severe braking conditions on most road surfaces. The abs monitors wheel speed and controls brakeline pressure to eliminate uncontrolled skidding. The system also monitors rear wheel speed and compares to front wheel speed. If excessive front wheel speed is detected at either front wheel, tcs will be activated. tcs uses engine fuel/timing management to provide improved traction and vehicle stability. The TCS uses front brake intervention to assist the wheel slip condition.
