TCS - how do I know?
#1
I bought a 2001 Maxima(used) about 2 weeks ago, but I'm not aware of all the options that came with the car. It's an SE model, with leather, automatic, sunroof, bose, etc.
My main questions though are:
1. How do I know if I have traction control system? I haven't been able to squeal my tires yet, and I was wondering if it's because of TCS or because I'm not flooring it hard enough?
2. How would I know if I have the in-cabin air microfilter?
Thanks for replies in advance! BTW, I'm headed to the nissan dealership tonight, and I'll have some more pics of the 2002 Maxima up and maybe a pic of 2002 Altima. They have one there, but don't know if it sold as of yet.

if youve got TCS, there is a toggle switch to the right of the wheel against the dash. even if you have tcs, you should be able to squeal the tires. ive got a ae with the limited slip diff and you can punch it with tcs on and it will squeal then it catches and youre off. on gauge cluster, the tcs light is on the bottom far right. as far as the microfilter goes, just take a look at the window sticker if you have it. im not sure of the location or how the replacement goes.

If you do not have documentation for what came on the car, the only way to see if you have the filter is to take the glove box out. Here are the instructions for doing an install, which indicate exactly where the filter is located: http://www.courtesyparts.com/instruc...binfilter.html
