Is the TCS feature on 2K Maxima's on the fly or do you have to be in a specific gear (park or neutral)?

TCS functions only in "R" and "D" It does not function in "1" or "2" according to the owners manual.

Have you ever encoutered a situation where the TCS and SLIP and SES lights stay lite? I am in the process of buying a 2K and those lites were lite during test drive. The dealer I am buying it from said those lights were the result of a bad ignition coils.........Makes me wonder?

The TCS system is automatically turned on whenever you start the car. There is a switch to turn it off otherwise it is always on.

I would recommend having the dealer fix the coils and then test drive the car again to make sure the TCS & SLIP lights don't come on and once all of that checks out...then buy the car.
