Why is my traction control not working properly?
A possibility for his problem is that the traction control is engaging improperly because of a bad ABS wheel sensor. The traction control uses the ABS wheel sensors to determine if one of the wheels is spinning fast than the others and retards the throttle until the speed of the wheels match again.
When does the traction control light come on?
If there is a problem with the traction control system that hinders its ability to work effectively, the traction control light will remain illuminated indefinitely. If the traction control light does come on, it will usually do so while you’re accelerating.
Can a bad ABS sensor cause traction control to engage?
