Default Traction control acting strange.

When the traction control is on, upon acceleration it really bogs down and sounds as if the engine is sputtering. It just started behaving this way. I checked the codes and noticed this one.(C1281) Any clues to whats going on? Thanks, Vince :confused:

Vince - P1281 is caused by malfunction of the APP (accelerator pedal position) sensor. I will email you the service manual page describing the code. Good luck. :seeya

Oops - You said C1281 and I responded for P1281. C1281 is a malfunction of the vehicle stability enhancement system.
