Tcs light flashing

battery will need to be replaced and codes cleared from ecu, tcs light more then likely coincidence due to another possible failure, or due to battery problem cause the ecu to code, and needs to be reset.

The TCS stands for Traction Control System, I believe. The TCS is controlled by inputs from the wheel speed sensors. If you have a bad sensor, then a new hub may be required to repair it.

The check engine light may be a sepawrate problem. Have the codes scanned for both the Anti lock braking sytem, TCS, and the check engine light.

Sometimes it will require a separate scanner for the TCS/ABS vs. the Check Engine light.

Good luck on this diagnosis and repair.

if it is shaking maybe it could be the belts in the tires.

tcs is (traction control system), it may be also in the (anti braking system )as they go together. have car scanned to find problem.

I will add that when this light is on it means the trans has a fault/problem, no matter the fault code number of which there are about a dozen

1997 Acura 3.5 RL TCS LIGHT FLASHING AND LOSSING POWER. WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 10KMPH. I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND BRAKE FLUID. ACURA WANTS $200.00 JUST TO CHECK, NOT THE REPAIR.

Hi,

This means the Traction Control System has kicked on. Your wheels lost traction and it has actived. You can turn your TCS off by hitting the button and then it will stay lit. The Acura automatically resets this system to ON whenever you start your car so to turn it off you will have to keep pushing the button to off

Thanks.

The SRS computer needs to be reset, if you dont have a repair manual i would first suggest finding one for each car. The basic principal is that you jumper the diagnostic plug (under the glove box in the RL). The next step I believe is that you must depress the TCS button, then while holding it down you turn the key to on, continue to hold the TCS button for 15 sec and then let off. The check engine light should then blink really quick a few times and that means its reset. Im reciting this from memory so dont quote me on it. I have done it before for the RL but not the integra, id really suggest finding a repair manual though.

ive found that the EGR valve is a common cause of this... check with your local dealer
