when the car is moving, and traction control is enabled(tcs), tcs lite will flash, and generally, power will be reduced. when traction is restored, the lite goes off, and it drives normal. however, on the 2.3, if something goes wrong with the abv circuit, like a vacuum leak, then the pcm puts the car in limp home mode. pcm stops communicating with tcm, tcs off/tcs lites come on, and the car will not go above 2500 rpm. that has nothing to do with traction, it has to do with boost. since pcm can no longer control the abv, it cannot control boost, so it disables it. along with a few other features

My car with the same problem was fixed by replacing two solenoids which were completely dead. The car is running fine now. Prior to this the engine light was always one, and the TCS light would come on intermitently especially when going uphill.

Where is the Mazda millenia s tcs sensor?

the closest to a sensor for tcs would be the abs wheel speed sensor. just like abs, the control unit sees one wheel spinning faster, and it enables the traction control. kinda like reverse abs. not to be confused with limp home mode, where the pcm stops communicating with tcm, and the tcs off/tcs lites up, and the car wont rev above 2500 rpm
