After many expensive repairs to my TCS system I found it is best to go to the dealer and have him use his computer to trouble shot the system. The cost is approx. $65 with that ask him for the trouble code and the repair part #. He will quote you a repair cost and part # with cost. After market computers can not perform all the functions of the dealer or reprogram a new ABS module.
what about it? if its on, your traction control is on & working. if its not, then its not!!
it means you have your traction control turned off Enhanced Traction System
The traction control system has engaged and is applying the brakes and / or altering the power to the drive wheels to control wheel slip. Read your owners manual for specifics.
Your car is equipped with Traction Control. This light means it is turned off.
When the traction light is on you have the traction control turned on in your vehicle and traction control is activated. Traction control is applying brakes to a wheel that losing traction.
its the traction control light. more specifically its the traction control malfunction light
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". :)
on. if you cut traction control off the vehicle runs fine
2002 Pontiac Montana, 165,000 miles. I am the only owner. Very reliable service. Front wheel bearings have been replaced twice. Traction System OFF light came on at 155,000 miles, and cruise control broke at same time. Lived with that, but then rear brake lights went out and mechanic cleaned out the rusted rear light circuit boards, which made everything work again. Mechanic told me that rusty circuit boards are common for Montana. Mechanic suggests replacing 2 circuit boards next time for $250.
your traction control light came on because either you turned off your traction control or your car needs brake fluid
The computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
To let the drive know that the traction control is on.
