Actually the TC can cause what appears to be understeer.
If you drive in a circle in a parking lot trying to get the rear end loose, the circle will get larger as the TC trys to keep the ass from stepping out.

Repeat the experiment with TC off and you will see that you can cut a much smaller circle even before you begin to lose traction.
