Working of Traction Control System

The document provides a block diagram and description of a traction control system (TRAC). The main inputs to the TRAC system include wheel speed sensors, battery level sensor, TRAC OFF switch, stop light switch, and throttle position sensor. These inputs provide speed, battery level, OFF, stop, and throttle position signals. The TRAC electronic control unit and engine control modulator process these inputs and control outputs like solenoids, pumps, lights, injectors, and valves to reduce wheel slip by actions such as reducing spark, fuel supply, braking wheels, closing the throttle, or reducing boost. The coordinated control of these outputs allows for slip-free vehicle operation in different weather conditions.

WORKING OF TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM:

BLOCK DIAGRAM OF TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TRAC)

Figure 1

A simple input output process block diagram is given in figure 1 and various inputs are shown

on the left side. The process control unit is represented in the middle part if the figure. Right

side blocks of the diagram shows the various controlled outputs for the TRAC system.

The main inputs for a TRAC system are wheel speed sensors, battery level sensor, TRAC OFF

switch, stop light switch, and the throttle position sensor. These inputs give speed signal,
remaining battery signal, OFF signal, stop signal and throttle level signal respectively.

The processing part consists of an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) or a TRAC Electronic

Control Unit (TRAC ECU) and an Engine Control Modulator (ECM). The TRAC ECU will

have an interconnection with ECM in order to communicate to the engine throttle position

control. These processing units process and analyze the input signals and take necessary output

actions if required. The controlled outputs of a TRAC system are solenoids actuator, pump

motor actuator, slip indicator light, TRAC OFF light, ABS warning light, injectors control, and

solenoid valve actuator. The control action can consist of one or more actions such as reducing

or suppress the spark to one or more cylinders, reducing fuel supply to one or more cylinders,

brake one or more wheels, close the throttle where vehicle is fitted with ECM controlled

throttle, and the boost control solenoid can be actuated to reduce boost and therefore engine

power. The controlled action of the one or more of the above outputs can help in traction control

of the vehicle resulting in a slip proof cruising of the vehicle irrespective of the external weather

conditions.
