This means the Traction Control System has kicked on. Your wheels lost traction and it has actived. You can turn your TCS off by hitting the button and then it will stay lite. The Acura automatically resets this system to ON whenever you start your car so to turn it off you will have to keep pushing the button to off. TCS is great when the roads are slippery so I wouldn't turn it off then.
I had the ABS light the light (which is the TCS indicator light) and the TCS light all on at the same time. Turned out to be one of my ABS sensors. According to my repair manual it states many diff things with all 4 lights involved with the TCS/ABS system. If its just the TCS system and not ABS then you will have only the TCS light on. If you have all 4 lights on (the 3 mentioned above) and the (Brake) light on then you have a problem with your entire ABS system. Hope this helps.
That your vehicle is losing traction and your Traction Control System (TCS) is working to prevent that.
Have vehicle scanned at either auto parts store or reliable repair shop
TCS China was created in 2002-06.
i have an acura 1997 rl and the tcs light on. what can i do?
what causes the engine light and the tcs and slip light to come on
The TCS system is part of the ABS system - antilocking brake system - but be aware that a simple vacuum leak will be enough to trigger the TCS light to come on.
That is the TCS (traction control system) indicator light. The light is on to indicate you have turned the Traction Control System OFF. The light will come on for a few seconds every time you turn on the ignition and will then go off unless you have turned the TCS off. The TCS is turned on and off with a button mounted on the dash. No good reason to turn it off. Just leave it on all the time.
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.
Yes, the Traction Control System (TCS) light has nothing to do with emissions.
Traction Control SystemTCS, is the Traction Control System. You will see the light come on or flicker when the TCS is activated. If the light says TCS OFF, then turn it back on and leave it on.if tcs illuminates, it means tracion control is activated. however, if tcs off/tcs both illuminate, it means pcm has stopped communicating with tcm, and most of the time, the car then is put in "limp home" mode. when both tcs off/tcs illuminate, there are a whole bunch of reasons why
The lights came on because you obviously have a problem with the abs, tcs, and slip sensors. Theres no way to turn tcs off so if the tcs off light comes on you have a tcs problem and need to get it looked at.
