Default TC/AC issue

Sometimes on my 02z, after maneuvering in my driveway to pull out, the TC comes on, then the DIC says to service. It will stay on until I turn off the car, and not come on again unless in the driveway again, but only occasionally. The driveway is not flat and sometimes I have to back into grass a little. Anything to worry about?

Mines been doing this once in awhile since I got the car. I dont worry about it too much because Ive gone through everything at the wheels when changing shocks, and rotors etc, and Its all fine. Its just very annoying and yes, the car has to be turned completely off to turn it on again and have it go away. I would like to know whats causing this too.

Its maybe one start out of 50 or something. So not too often.

Mine seems to activate, when I go in the grass a little, then also turning wheel, also being on uneven surface at same time. (maybe some wheel slip too) Maybe so many issues at once that the computer can't compensate and thinks something is wrong with system.

Pull the codes and they will give you a good idea of where the problem lies. If the service light comes on a code is set and can be pulled using DIC. Here is a link that describes how to pull your codes.

Your problem could be simple, or troublesome and expensive. Start with the codes.
