By saying it doesn't work, what are you expecting it to do? Are you launching with wheel spin and not feeling T/C cutting back on power? Do you have a diagnostic trouble code for T/C? Does pressing the T/C switch cause the dash light to illuminate and the DIC to advise that T/C is turned OFF?

I think we are going to need a little more information.

1. Is the light with the car swerving lit up on the instrument panel?
2. Are you getting any messages in the DIC?
3. Traction control warning?
4. have you pulled the codes to see what it is throwing?

Here are some threads that may help you solve the source of the problem.

How to pull the codes and once you have them post them in the tech section

Hope this helps.
