Re: traction control off or is it ????

Is the ABS light on also? If so, you couild have a bad wheel speed sensor (part of the hub bearing) or a bad/broken wire to one of them. If the ABS light isn't on, did you accidentally hit the trac-off button on the DIC? If you recently had heavy rain, it could also be water intrusion into the bearing, which may clear itself up.

What exactly is your complaint? Are you implying that the traction control system is still working when it is turned off or is it not working at all when you press the TC button?

What are the driving conditions? Is this under normal driving conditions or getting it on, burnouts, etc.? I recall the traction control system may still kick in under certain driving conditions even with traction control manually turned off. For example people that drag race their GPs have to remove the ABS fuse to totally inhibit TC. But that is not practical for every day driving and it will disable the A/C.

Yeah, I figured that was the case. You'll have to live with it unless you can figure out away to modify the traction control system. I get the same problem. So do others. We've discussed the issue in the past if you check the old threads.
