Traction Control Malfunction?
Traction Control Malfunction?
Hello all,
Yesterday while driving my TCS, slip and check engine lights all came on at once while driving. My tires were not spinning at the time. I shut the car off for 2 minutes and the TCS lights turned off and it works fine, but the check engine light is still on. Any ideas what could have caused this before I go and get the code pulled? Thanks for the help....

Okay, here's the thing before I shut down the car I pinned it from a stop and the TCS did not work it was stuck off until I shut the car off. When I re-started the car it cleared and the TCS functioned normally. Coils? I've heard of the problem but I have no power loss, no hesitation and/or jerkyness. I replaced the plugs last year also. I think I'll unplug the batt overnight and see if that resets it. Thanks for the help!

As soon as you re-connected the battery you held the brake pedal down for 2 min?
you should really pull the code before you unplug the neg. cable overnight. the ecu has already stored that the ses went off and even if it doesnt light back up, it has it stored. you may want to pull it and have the problem/issue corrected so you dont have a change at getting stranded for one reason or another.
