Why does your Traction Control Light come on on your 2001 Honda Accord?

Traction control, when engaged "senses" when a driving tire has no traction. The system will then compensate for this by slowing the spinning wheel through partial application of the brake, reducing power or both. The system uses wheel speed sensors to monitor the wheel speed. When traction is lost the sensor prompts the brake computer to partially apply the brake to the wheel that is spinning, allowing it to gain traction. Sort of like Antilock brakes in reverse.


What is the application of pulling force to hold a bone in correct alignment?

This technique is used to realign fractured or dislocated bones, reducing pain and promoting proper healing by maintaining the bone in the correct position. Different types of traction methods can be applied, such as skin traction, skeletal traction, or external fixation, depending on the specific needs of the patient and the type of fracture or dislocation.
