Default Traction control warning

I know I’ve seen post regarding “traction control warming up” as I’ve gotten that myself but today while driving I got a service engine soon....traction control. And then the traction control light on my dash was illuminated. Ironically I had added a bottle of Techron fuel treatment and fueled my tank 5 miles earlier. Any thoughts.

Clear all the codes and go for a drive to see what comes back. I’ll bet 1287 comes back which means you need a new steering sensor. Lots of threads on this for you to read.

Took the car for a drive and no codes, right now. If I’m not mistaken, HVAC is probably from when I had the control unit out of the car to have the back lighting replaced.

what are the other codes?

Other codes don’t matter. They are h codes aka history codes. Only matter what comes back. Drive the car until the tcs warninf
cokes back and run the codes again.

Most everyone on here knows how to search codes. We are more concerned with what codes come back after your drive.
