There is a problem with your wheel speed sensors. This is common.
To let the drive know that the traction control is on.
Some vehicles equipped with a traction control that have both 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive options can turn off traction control before putting the vehicle in gear by switching the vehicle from 4 wheel drive to 2 wheel drive. Vehicles that have 4 wheel drive all the time usually do not allow for traction control to be turned off.
drive slower
No
No sir, it is front wheel drive.
It is safe to drive but it means you have no traction control when the light is on and you should get it serviced. ASAP!
There is no such thing as a 'traction control sensor'.But, If you are referring to the "Traction Control System", there are Many components that make up the Traction Control System.The heart of Traction Control System is the "EBCM" (Electric Brake Control Module). The EBCM monitors the wheel speed sensors for Drive Wheel Slip. When drive wheel slip is noted while the brake is not applied, the EBCM will enter "Traction Control Mode".When vehicle enters Traction Control Mode, the EBCM sends a request to the "PCM" (Power Control Module) to reduce the amount of torque to the drive wheels. If the engine torque reduction does not eliminate drive wheel slip, the EBCM will actively apply the drive wheel brakes.The EBCM in the 05' Buick Terraza is located on the "BPMV" (Brake Pressure Modulator Valve). In other words, the EBCM is mounted on the Antilock Brake Controller.
check the fuses.
Front wheel drive.
No, the traction control system will not work but no damage will be done. You can drive it in this condition if you wish.
its recommended you put traction control on when driving in icey conditions, the car will still slide if you apply the brakes or accelerate quickly tho
