Traction Control
#7
No if the light is on it mean the TCS is off, on my 2k1 there is a swich on the dash where you can switch on-off. In all kind of harsh condition the TCS can be life saver,
specially on black ice, since I've drive a lot in heavy snow and I prefer when the TCS is off, ( I have 4 good winters tire ) for most people who drive with 4 seasons tire and see occasional snow or heavin rain in way the system work to make shure you dont loose control of the traction and the car, like someone said the system cut the fuel to some cylinder so even if you pull the pedal to the metal the throttle wont respond to that command.

from what i heard also... you have to turn the TCS off when you car is in park.. if you're driving and try to turn it off, the light will turn on, but TCS wont turn off until you shift into park.. and ofcourse, vice versa

you can turn it on/off on the fly. while driving down the road turn the switch off. then stomp the gas in the snow. youll watch your revs fly up, but the car wont go anywhere. now switch it back on and mash the gas....notice that it wont let the car rev
