I've noticed an odd thing about my van lately. Whenever I leave the Traction Control System on and am traveling on the highway, and accelerate, the "Low Traction" light momentarily comes on. I was going down the highway today with the cruise control on and when I reached a small incline where the van automatically speeds up to keep the pre set speed, the "Low traction" came on again. Each time this occurs the pavement is dry. Could this signal a bad TCS sensor? Has anybody else experienced something like this? I also noticed that it does it on a certain stretch of highway I travel frequently, practically everytime I'm in that certain area of the road, ( a small incline.)

Could be a bad speed sensor, which is an intregral part of the front wheel hub assemblies. First try removing and cleaning the electrical contacts on the plugs behind the front wheel hubs and see if that solves the problem.

I have had a problem with my TCS light coming on and staying on, which they say indicates a problem. I had new tires put on about 3 months ago, maybe that is the culprit. where is the traction control sensor located??
