Does traction control make you lose power?
One rear wheel will therefore tend to slip, prompting the traction control or ESP to curtail power. The momentary loss in power you experience is a result of a properly functioning system. Under all other normal driving conditions, the traction control system should never be switched off for safety reasons.

What causes the traction control to go offline?
The traction control computer in your vehicle is the “brain” that controls the entire system. A defect, corroded contacts or water damage in this computer can result in the entire system going offline, which will turn on the TCS warning light. As the TCS and ABS often share a computer, this may affect your ABS system and turn on that light, too.
