yukondude1 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Just happened yesterday. I noticed the Traction Control light is on, and it feels like traction control is engaged while I drive. I stopped the car, put it in "Park" and pushed the traction control on/off button in the glove box, but the Traction Control light stays on anyway. Traction control still seems to be engaged. I do think my car is due for new disc brake pads. Would this have anything to do with the Traction Control? If anyone has experienced this problem I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Brake ware should have nothing to do with T/C. When the T/C is inop, 1st gear is disables so you are starting out in 2nd. Pull the DTC's. Probably a wheel speed sensor fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

human Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Is your ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) working properly? I had that problem on a '97 Olds LSS a few years ago. The Traction Control light came on and stayed on, and eventually the ABS light came on as well. I had to get the ABS system repaired (very expensive, if not for an extended warranty) in order to get the Traction Control working again.
