Traction Control broken in my Sixty Special


Recommended Posts

So My 1993 Sixty Special has no traction at all, and this is pretty troubling during the winter. The SSS light is also on, and I've heard these two are related, but this wasn't always the case. This is among many other problems including a Power Drain, but I want to focus on getting my traction control back up and running, because I will get stuck in my driveway when half an inch of snow falls...

It sounds like you have multiple electrical problems, which could affect each other. If you can read the OBD I trouble codes, that would be a good start.

Simultaneously press and hold the OFF and WARMER buttons on the climate control panel with the ignition on. The codes will display on either the fuel data center or the climate control panel. Write down the codes and post back. When you see .7.0, the system is awaiting additional input. You can either turn the ignition off or press AUTO to exit diagnostics.

The SSS light is indicating there is a problem with the electronic suspension which most likely has disabled the traction control.

You shouldn't need traction control for 1/2" of snow - maybe you need new tires?

Thanks, KHE; I don't have a 1993 FSM or direct experience.
