TC = Traction Active

If your vehicle is equipped with the Traction Control system, this message will stay on a few seconds after the traction system stops limiting wheel spin.

This message will appear when the traction control system is limiting wheel spin. Keep in mind that when the warning lights turn on, a fault code is stored in the ABS control module (in this case). Retrieving, diagnosing, and repairing any ABS system faults will be necessary to keep the light off. A common fault with ABS systems are the wheel speed sensors, stored codes may confirm this.

Hope this helps.

What does message check engine with a triangle exclamation mark mean and number 1? Thanks

You don't say what year, brand and model car you have.

The Check Engine (CE) warning and the triangle warning are different.

1. If the CE light is on there are dozens of possible causes but you need to have the car scanned to see what faults have been generated and what irregularities show up in the operation of the engine. Don't delay having it professionally checked out or the computer may send the vehicle into limp mode to protect the engine or the engine may stop altogether and you will not be able to restart it..

2. The triangle with the exclamation mark is normally the traction control (TC) system warning. If this displays constantly the TC may have been turned off manually or (more likely) there is a problem detected with the TC system and it has been shut down by the computer. You will need a scan to see what faults the computer has detected so a proper diagnosis of the problem can be made.

Trac light is comin on what does this mean

The car is OK. If you have the traction control (TC) warning pop up it means there is a fault in the traction control system . The traction control on the car will now be disabled.

The most likley cause is a failed or faulty wheel sensor. These are the sensors which detect if a wheel is losing traction and the TC system will apply braking multiple times to slow the wheel speed to retain grip.

It is a good safety feature but you can still drive your car around without the TC system operating. There should be a TC switch on your model to turn the TC on and off manually. When switched off manually, a TC off message should pop up on the dash.

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY MALIBU LS.MY TC LIGHT IS ON AND THERE IS A MESSAGE READING ON MY RADIO THAT SAYS (ENGINE POWER REDUCED.AND SO YOU KNOW I ACCIDENTALLY LEFT MY CAR WINDOWS DOWN LAST NIGHT SO THE INSIDE...

Hi Andrew, TC I believe is 'traction control'. I don't know for sure why the management system would read 'engine power reduced' and would suggest a visit to your dealer, to have a diagnostic scan carried out. It could very well be that moisture has contaminated the electronics.Regards Johngee10

Yellow light on the dash board in a triangle with an exclamatioon point in it came on. the car jerked a little . what is this light?

its most likely the traction control warning that the wheels had spun and power was briefly reduced to stop wheelspin. there should be a switch on the dash centre panel with TC or ASR if you press this switch it will put the triangle light on constantly until pressed again. this disables the system so be careful as wheelspin will be inevitable !! lol

P1698 code

P1698 is no ccd message from the tcm.

The Instrument Cluster connector develops fractures at the circuit board causing all sorts of grief with intermittent starts and gauge components not working, ETC.This requires the dash to be disassembled to get at the instrument cluster and resolder the connector pin.

My downhill descent light along with tc and abs are on my disc 2

Hi no you can`t access the ABS unit with a MT 2500 snap-on machine you need dedicated software to get in to the ABS system on the Modis,the fault is usually as follows ,If you carefully take the centre console apart near the gearlever you will find the hill desent wiring is broken there are 2 wires that catch on the bottom of the linkage,when you have repaired them (make sure ignition off from start to finish of repair) If the wires are too short solder 2 same gauge extender wires in with heat shrink to protect them and then re-route the wires away from the linkage ,BE carefully as there are AIRBAG wires near there,the ABS lamp should go out when the repair is done if not you need to take it to a Landrover expert to diagnose further.

Message Centre Light

Not what light you are referring to. Hard to picture it. does sound like a brake system warning. Be sure to check the brake fluid reservoir, it may be low on fluid.
