I have personally experienced ABS and Traction control problems in the past. My problem was due to a faulty wheel speed sensor. These are a time consuming and difficult fix if you do not have the proper tools, so your best bet is to bring it to an auto repair shop or even the dealer.

It could be a wheel speed sensor, or if you live in a place that's cold or has harsh roads, then it can be an ABS wire. If the lights on your dash come on for BOTH traction control and ABS, that's normal. Traction control system and ABS systems use alot of the same components and are linked. Another possibility is that the problem was fixed and the codes haven't been erased. But........ if you have -40�C winters... it will happen all the time, lol.

your ABS computer sets codes sort of like the one that might turn your "check engine" warning light on. Most garages will have the proper diagnostics to retrieve the code and tell you what is wrong. It could just be something as simple as a dirty wheel speed sensor.

What would cause a 1996 Park Avenue Ultra with a supercharger to have the check engine light and traction control light on at the same time once in a while with MAF Sensor code incorrectly being sent?

A problem with the emissions will sometimes shut off the traction control, thus illuminating the light.


Why does the tcs light come on the dash?

The TCS light stands for Traction Control System. The light will come on if you turn the Traction Control Off. If you cannot just turn it off by pushing the TC button, Is the Check engine light on also? If it is the TCS light will come on as well. If it comes on without the check engine light being on then there is a problem with the TCS. You would have to have that diagnosed by the dealer.


Why. On a 99 mustang cant i turn off traction control?

On a 1999 Mustang, the inability to turn off the traction control may be due to a malfunction or design limitation in the system. Some models may not have a dedicated switch for traction control, or the feature may be automatically engaged under certain conditions. Additionally, if there's an issue with the vehicle's sensors or systems, it could prevent the traction control from being disabled. Checking the owner's manual or consulting a mechanic can provide more specific insights.


What does trac off mean on a PT Cruiser?

"Trac off" on a PT Cruiser typically refers to the traction control system being disabled or turned off. This system helps prevent wheel spin and loss of traction by applying brakes to individual wheels as needed. When the "trac off" light is illuminated, it means the traction control system is not actively assisting in maintaining traction, which could be due to a manual override by the driver or a malfunction in the system.


What does VSC trac off mean?

"VSC trac off" refers to the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system and its traction control feature being disabled in a vehicle. When this warning appears on the dashboard, it indicates that the traction control system is not active, which can lead to reduced traction in slippery conditions. This may be intentionally turned off by the driver for specific driving situations, such as off-road or performance driving. However, it is important to be cautious, as driving without these aids can increase the risk of losing control of the vehicle.


What does traction system active mean?

"Traction system active" typically refers to a vehicle's traction control system being engaged to enhance grip and stability. This system helps prevent wheel spin during acceleration, especially on slippery surfaces, by adjusting power delivery or applying brakes to specific wheels. When active, it ensures better control and safety while driving in challenging conditions.


Why does car stall with traction control?

Some traction control systems back off the engine throttle when a certain amount of wheel spin is detected; when over-done, this often makes the car feel as if the engine has stalled. My '05 Honda Accord Hybrid has such a system and it's bad to the point of being unsafe. You'll get halfway through an intersection and the car just stops moving. It won't start again until the gas pedal has been released for a second or two, but you have to turn off the traction control in order to get going in a reasonable amount of time. In a recent storm, the traffic light changed while I was trying to disengage the stupid thing. I should add that not all traction control systems behave this way; my '99 Chrysler LHS had excellent traction control that only had to be disabled once or twice a year (when the snow got really sticky). I've heard that the worst traction control systems are on Toyota Priuses.


Is there a problem with 2002 Aztek traction control and anti lock break?

could be the speed sensors on the front wheels. They are magnetic pickups and after several years start attracting too much debris ( or the bearings are going). Causing the traction control and anti lock brake signal, (also service traction system when shutting off vehicle) Also mine broke a wire to the mag pickup on the passenger side. hard to discover. Inside the protective wire cover, one wire to the pickup failed open after several years of being worked back and forth. Solder and tape repaired it, but it will happen again.

Yes very much so. A narcissist hates not being in control. They also hate to be judged and seen as the problem. When in prison they lose their narcisstic supply.
