The traction control system uses the computer to work by changing engine speed.
You may have gotten water inside one of the wiring connectors or harness.
You would need to have the computer scanned for trouble codes to know what to test.

    I just saw your other question where you listed the codes. Code 121 is for the throttle position sensor circuit, and code 1102 is for the mass air flow circuit. So you probably got water in the connectors for those components.

2001 Mitsubishi Magna VRX. The TCL light stuck on OFF.

Question edited for clarity, add maker, add CAPS, remove text speak.
Question moved to Mitsubishi category.

This is not a model we know in North America. You need an auto electrician to connect a pro grade scan tool computer to read the historical code data as to why the Check Engine Light came on. It will also tell which sensor is causing the TCL Light to be stuck on Off.

My tcl off light has come on along with my engine light and the engine has a missfire when on boost?legnum vr4

The "TCL" light has to do with Traction Control (part of the ABS system) the TCL light and the Engine light could be on for the same issue or there are two different problems going on. There is no way to tell unless you own a "Code Reader". This tool will have to be able to view both engine and ABS codes. There are several different Scan-Tools on the market. Mine is from Snap-on tools (Modis). But unless you run a repair shop, this isn't practical. Take your time and look around. Beware of buying a used unit. You may decide that it would be cheaper to just have a shop diagnose it. I'm not sure who you have for local part stores but you could call a few and see if they offer free engine code reading. Their tool isn't as advanced but if their tool will access engine and ABS codes. then they can give you a list of codes that were stored inside the ECU. It would be best that while you have the codes read. That both lights are on. Sometimes the light has to be on in order for the codes to be read. You can then write back with the list of codes. And I can give you a answers to what they mean, possible causes, and parts to check. I hope that helps, good luck.

Engin light and TCL light won't switch off. When

TCL means Traction Control, and you turn it on and off with a switch. But you did not tell us make, model, or year, so we can't tell you how to turn it off or on.

2007 mitsubishi ecplise tcl light is coming on at random times

You were hoping everything would go away

It hasn't been that way for the last 30 years

We have electronic systems on all vehicles

You need an owners manual to study

You need to take an dash light that comes on
after the engine starts seriously, as you may have
a system malfuntion & most do require a repair.

You check for codes as soon as you get a check or mil lamp,
that is a well know thing everyone should be doing

Most people just don't know or care to ,as they depend
on a repairs shop to do whatever

2007 Mitsubishi Galant TCL Off light and service engine soon light

TCL is controlled by ABS system,could have an abs sensor going bad. There is alot of things that could cause a misfire,mass air flow sensor could be dirty or need replaced.Best bet is to take to someone with computer that can read what all sensors are doing in vehicle.
