A subsystem was a small system that was part of a larger one.

In 2366, Commander William T. Riker was able to access the warp field phase adjustment subsystem of the Ferengi starship Krayton. The subsystem was responsible for suppressing the subspace interference generated by the ship's warp engines. (TNG: "Ménage à Troi")
