as with any other warning light on your dash......get the trouble codes read and then you'll have a starting point. Don't ask us to guess which of the more than 800 possible codes is stored in your computer.
Keep in mind that Traction Control applies the ABS to the individual wheel when it spins
too fast, slowing it down to the speed of the other wheels so that it
can gain traction.
All vehicles will slide in the snow. Traction control or not. What traction control does, in simple terms...Is when your wheel start to slip, which is detected by some sensors, it lowers the vehicles throttle position, slows the RPM's down, even if your foot is still on the gas, for a matter of seconds, until the wheels stop slipping. So when you feel or hear your vehicles engine slowing down on its own, its best to just let off the gas and let it go for a couple seconds. A way to test the traction control...From a stop, if you are in the snow, and you push the gas down a good bit, make it spin, and the vehicle should seem to power down on its own, while the light comes on, if it does not do this, then traction control would not be working. Hope this helped.
If the front hubs have been replaced, the problem lies in the harnesses
to the wheel speed sensors. Here is a bulletin number for you, 03-05-25-008. It talks about replacing the harnesses to both front wheel speed sensors.
The
traction control activates because the system thinks a wheel is
slipping. If you slow down at a slow rate the abs might activate also.
This light will come on everytime you loose traction.The computer on the car puts stopping pressure on the tire that is slipping until the slipping is stopped and the correction made.
if you're flooring the car and there's wheelspin that will activate the tcs, which stands for traction control system. It cuts fuel to slow you down until you gain traction. So no burnouts on the TL. =D
