Look above your radio for a button that says TCS (I think that is what the FB's say). It will be to the right of your rear window defroster and under your AC vents. It will be on all the time unless you turn it off each time you start driving. If that is not where the TA has the TC then the button may be somewhere else. Step on it and see if your wheels spin and if a low traction light comes on if you cannot find the button, I am sure someone will be more helpful than I have been, LOL.

Chances are, if you're asking, you dont have it. There would be a switch next to your ciggarette lighter.

Camaro says ASR, Firebird says TCS. If you don't have it, you'll have a hollowed space next to your lighter.

I like my Camaro's interior as well... but compared to my g/f's 03 Grand Am GT... It sucks. One of my friends has a 00 T/A WS6 and another a 99 Formula WS6. Their interior also kicks my Camaro's *** as well.

If you think the car may have been torn apart and redone or something...you might want to check your drivers sides door codes....I'm not sure whicho one it is, but If its your original door, that code will be there.
