Default Traction Control

This is is a general question that i have about my car .... i see the dummy light on my cluster for TCS wich is traction control but i dont' seem to have a button to turn it off or on... i've raced and done a couple burn out and its never turned on or lit up besides start up with every other dummy light just wondering if it is just generic to havethe light weather or not you have the system...

The gauge cluster piece is a mass produced item. It will have it on all cars, regardless if you have it or not.

NW9 is the RPO code for ASR/TCS. My car didn't come with it, no switch - has the wiring for it behind the panel - also has the wiring for the remote CD changer, car didn't come with that either. Never noticed if mine lights up on start up or not...don't think so...I'll have to look for it next time.

I don't think mine lights up, I know I don't have TCS. What will light up, however, is a "Low Trac" light, usually when the ABS kicks in. Nice thing......lets you know you're about to wipe out while you're wiping out.

If you have TCS you'd know. It would annoy the hell out of you. EVERYTIME the tires break loose it engages. POS option and I hate it. Too bad I ordered it when I got the car .
