The button does not work because there is a problem with the TCS system. Most common is a bad Wheel bearing/Hub sensor which is built into the hubs. I recommond if you are not a mechanic to take it to a garage. A dead give away it is the hub sensor is if the ABS light is on as well. A ABS scanner can also tell you the problem but they cost about $200. When driving listen for a humming noise coming from either side.

What does 'trac off' mean for a 99 Pontiac Grand Am?

It is the front wheel drive traction control light. When your tires spin on wet roads the traction control helps regain your tires grip on pavement. Find the button and push it. The "trac off" light will go off and it will show "traction active" only when the system is in use. Note that you cant do a burn out with traction control "on". :)

Just bought a 2000 Pontiac grand am could anyone tell you what the ats button is?

This button exists on 1999-2005 model Grand Ams. It is the enable/disable switch for "Advanced Traction System" which is GM's fancy term for traction control. Traction control on the Grand Am works by reducing throttle output and possibly by engaging brakes. It is not necessary to ever use the ATS disable switch, but it could be considered a toy for driving enthusiasts. When the ATS switch is active, you should see an amber "Trac Off" light illuminate in the instrument cluster.


What causes the trac light to go off in a 2001 grand am?

There is a push button on the shifter right where your thumb is, that is the trac button. Under normal driving conditions keep it off. Turn it on when it is wet or snowing for better traction control. If you have problems with your abs the light may stay off permanently as the traction control feature is actually the automatic application of the brakes to maintain even traction between the drive wheels.
