TRACTION CONTROL. MY CONTOUR RUNS FINE. BUT IT SEEMS TO WANT TO STOP EXCELERATING WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON.( DRY PAVEMENT) I CAN LET OFF AND GIVE IT GAS AND IT WILL THEN GO. CAN I DISABLE THE TRACTION CONTROL TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM>? AND IF SO. WHERE CAN THE FUSE BE FOUND? IT HAS A 5 SPEED TRANNY...THANKS

where are the controls set at for 4wd?
and is this dirt or pavement....???

Usually caused by a wheel speed sensor on the drive wheels. Check the sensor mounting, wiring, and tone ring for damage.

To disable the Traction Control and Stabilitrak depress and hold the button under the large engage button on the shifter. There may be an issue with the idle speed adjustment for operating with the TC/S enabled.

You must have the traction control system scanned for the fault code that is present when the light is on.

TCS stands for Traction Control System.
The traction control system works in conjunction with your Antilock Brake System (ABS) and your Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Unit (ECU) (Note that ECM, ECU, and PCM all mean the computer that controls your engine, depending on make.)

Anyway, the traction control system can apply one or more of the brakes and control engine RPM in the event that a wheel slip has been detected by the traction control system.

Pushing the TCS button on most models will light a lamp in the instrument cluster that usually says "Trac Off" Pressing it a second time will turn this light back off.

When the "Trac Off" light is illuminated, the Traction Control System is disabled and will not work in the event of a wheel slip.

Also note that when the Traction Control System is working and a wheel slip is detected, The Traction Control Module will usually illuminate a light that says "Trac" as it is taking control of your brakes and engine. It can feel really strange when this occurs and some people think that their transmission is slipping or that their engine has a misfire problem.
The chances are that if it occurred on wet, slippery pavement, the Traction Control System may have just saved your life.

If this is happening on dry pavement and normal driving conditions (starting, stopping, or turning), there may be a problem with the system. "False Traction Control" can happen just like a bad wheel sensor causing "False Antilock Mode".

Also check your Owners Manual for more specific information pertaining to your particular vehicle.

the car must have the the weight of car on it to check for bad wheel hub but then you can only guess if there bad but it would be a good idea to prabably change hub, if light is coming on on dry pavement..check all wire connections to the hub first to make sure nothing is has loose connections. also have them put tires on balancer to check balance but also while there spinning what the tire for flat spots in theme make sure the look most dont they just balance but tires can have flat spots in the tread and still balance out on machine. its one of two hub or tires my guess would be one of the tires has flat spot in it or under weight the hub is unstable . i hope this helps

I'm begining to think the problem is related to erroneous speedometer input data, ( could even be a trans speed sensor, or the speedo itself ) which falsely makes the TRACTION CONTOL SYSTEM think the drive wheels are actually SPINNING, and losing traction, causing the light to appear. Hopes this helps

Dead ringer sypmtom of a bad wheel speed sensor which is buried inside the wheel bearing. Very common on these cars.

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
