The Enhanced Traction System warning light may come on for the following reasons:
If you turn the system off by shifting to SECOND (2) or FIRST (1), the warning light will come on and stay on. To turn the system back on,shift to THIRD (3) or AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE

If the traction control system is affected by an engine-related problem, the system will turn off and the warning light will come on.

If the Enhanced Traction System warning lightmcomes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service. Adjust your driving accordingly..

SOURCE: 2006 Ford Five Hundred traction control light on all the time.

This is a computerized traction control system that monitors the wheel spin and makes split second adjustments... if the light is on, Ford recommends servicing the system. I'd check with a local non-dealer mechanic that may be able to help you out cheaper than a dealer first.

SOURCE: 2005 Impala abs & traction control problem

The traction control works off of the abs.So when abs has problem traction is disabled. If problem started when brakes changed most likely one of these sensors. Check rear wiring and see if you can see any physical damage.

SOURCE: warning light on are trac off, anti-lock, brakes, service engine

You need to have the abs system scanned for codes. You likely have a bad wheel speed sensor on one of wheels.

Mazdaspeed 3 08 Traction control light on

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS, TPMS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

ABS and traction lights

You go to a dealer or repair shop, any time you
get any check light on your dash & have the car properly
diagnosed & the fault repaired

Turning off something to make it go away,doesn't not

How to tell if the vehicle has traction control?

Hello. Welcome to FixYa.

If your vehicle has traction control, there will be a light on the dash. Turn the key to the on position (don't start the car), and observe the dash. If you see a little car with some lines behind it (the lines look like an "S"), you have traction control.

No little car with a squiggly S behind it; no traction control.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance today.

Trac on does not help traction whatsoever totally helpless when snow or ice---not sure it has worked since new when press steering column button to turn trac off---will show trac off on dash----and when...

The traction light only shows when it is turned off. If the traction control wasn't work, the van would show a code aka engine light would come on. Tracation Control only works at speeds below 35 mph.

2003 cobalt traction control light on

traction control is controlled by a button on the dash, the only time the TC light comes on is when its shut off, indicating that you do not have traction control. try locating the button and pushing it and see if that fixes the problem, if not there is something wrong in the tc circuit (such as a wheel speed sensor) and would need further diagnosis.
