traction control warning
Well, I thought I'd go for a nice fall ride yesterday and the car won't run. I got a traction control warning and the engine went into reduced power mode. After turning it on and off 5 times it decided to run but the check engine light is now on. What does all this mean and how can I keep driving the car? I'm going to the dealer to get the rear end sealed this week but I'd like to know what I'm talking about concerning the warning. Help. CIndy

What Codes?
Hey I had the same thing happen to mine recently and a TC Module was changed out. The part cost $290 and with labor I think it was in the low $400.
You really need to post what code is showing for someone to give you a better diagnosis.
Good luck!

Here is a site that will tell you how to pull your codes and what they mean. Take a piece of paper and pen with you and write them down.

The site has codes with Descriptive headings but those headings do not tell you what the code means. They just tell you where to start looking.

Thanks for the tip on how read the codes. There are 13 codes but I think a lot are from disconnecting the battery during storage but 2 of them may help. C1275 & U1064. I looked them up from the code site but I don't know what they mean or what the abbreviations mean. Could you please help me understand them? Thanks Cindy

Best bet is to reset them after jotting down the numbers. Run it to see if the problem reoccurs and jot down whether its H or C. If its C it'll be easier to work out the problem. If its H it means its an intermittent snag. TCS and AH problems can be very intermittent and hard to diagnose.
