Hi, my problem with this car is I just done a tune up because the check engine light was on, and i did the tune up a day later light turns back on and now another light saying low trac. what is this? please help it's has 89000 miles. we just bought it runs good, just the engine lite came on and low trac like i said. The mechanic who did the tuneup did a diognostic and he said it had something to do with emission, it had already passed emission. can you please tell me what could be wrong
The most common emission system problem to set off the check engine light is a loose or defective gas cap ( always tighten cap until you hear at least two or three clicks, and try switching the cap with another one to see if it makes a difference ). The trac light is for the traction control system. Either your spinning your tires a lot or maybe a ABS wheel sensor is bad, dirty or a loose wire. The trac light might be on because of a computer error as well ( if you just bought it, make sure all tires are the same size and brand, because some systems are sensitive to different tire circumferences ).

Do you have the codes that the tech got when he tuned it?This could help a lot for diagnosing.On some of these the check engine light will cause the trac light to also come on.That is why it is important to get the codes.
