How do I know when my Traction control is working on my 2010 Touring? We live in Northeastern Ohio and I seem to be sliding alot when I go to stop and I'm not speeding. Thank You!

that symbol is usually related to the vehicles stability control or traction control the fact that its displayed possibly means its been deactivated

it usually means traction control is off.if that light is on with either service,fault,management,engine light also on it can point to a possible fault being saved by the ecu if so get the vehicle checked out

Could be one of your wheel speed sensors is out. The ABS and traction control are linked on most vehicles so when the sensor is bad it will disable the traction control. The best thing to do would be to get it scanned and see what code the computer is throwing.

hi
Looks like alot of snow have covered your tyre.
You need to power jet wash your tyres to clean the sensor at the back of the wheel.
that will solve the issue
thanka

traction control faulty. You slip and slide, your traction control activates, then here lies your problem.. after your traction control activates, it is creating an electrical short, vacuum leak, etc. look at what your traction control is operating, probably brakes. SO look at the brake booster vacuum lines or connecitons. Hope this at least gives you an idea of where to look. COuld be your traction control module is faulty.

The traction control light is on to let you know that system is disabled. I would say the actual problem is a performance issue with the engine.
You should have someone scan the computer for trouble codes to proceed with testing. A 2010 model may still be under factory warranty.

All vehicles will slide in the snow. Traction control or not. What traction control does, in simple terms...Is when your wheel start to slip, which is detected by some sensors, it lowers the vehicles throttle position, slows the RPM's down, even if your foot is still on the gas, for a matter of seconds, until the wheels stop slipping. So when you feel or hear your vehicles engine slowing down on its own, its best to just let off the gas and let it go for a couple seconds. A way to test the traction control...From a stop, if you are in the snow, and you push the gas down a good bit, make it spin, and the vehicle should seem to power down on its own, while the light comes on, if it does not do this, then traction control would not be working. Hope this helped.

Your traction control comes on when it notices either your rear tires slipping or front tires slipping and it counteracts the slip to control the slide. It should be working all 4 brakes though not just the front. There is a traction control sending unit under the dash that should be looked at to make sure that it is sending the Trac Control the right message. If it is reading the slide wrong then it should be replaced. Sometimes then can just reset the computer and all works well other times you need to replace the sensor. I would see if they can reset the computer first then go from there. Pleae rate if satisfied. Thank you

traction control helps you keep better traction on wet roads and helps you maintain control of the car. no you dont have to have certain tires on the car for the traction control to work. it helps you drive better on wet roads and on snow etc.its built into alot of vehichles these days .
