Traction control Kicking in Randomly during normal driving in my 2000 trans am I just got a 2000 trans am 6 speed with only 41,000 miles on it. After I washed the car in/out n under the hood. All of a sudden out of nowhere when Im just cruising the LOW TRAC light comes on and the gas pedal will push up and cut out power. It doesn't do this when I turn the TCS OFF, but I dont wana have to drive around with it off all the time!!! IDK what the hell is doing this??? Mabe I got something wet I shouldn't have under the hood...Please help.

I had a simialar situation in my GP. Check the ABS sensors near the brakes at all four corners. One of mine got unplugged for some reason and apparently the car 'saw' that three weels were going full speed and one was not moving at all (due to the unplugged sensor) so the car thought there was no/low traction. Just one thing to check!
