Traction control every once in awhile the traction control is activated and cuts power to throttle. No ABS codes. Im thinking an interuption in signal from a wheel speed sensor??

SOURCE: turn signals and traction control are not working properly.

I had the same problem with mine.  All you have to do is replace the hazzard switch.  It costs about 40 bucks for the switch, and takes about ten minutes to replace.  Just take off the dash cover and swap them out.
Hope I helped!

SOURCE: abs and traction control

hi if you know for sure it's a wheel speed sensor
remove that wheel
remove the caliper and caliper bracket
remove the brake rotor
there are 3 bolts on the other side of the knuckle(13mm)
remove them
remove the axle nut(1 5/16)
remove the hub bearing assembly(you may need to use a hammer on the hub flange)
hope this helps

SOURCE: My 1996 S-10 Blazer will not shift sometimes and

A faulty VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) or related wiring can cause both of your problems, trans and ABS. If the computer doesn't know the vehicle is moving, then it won't shift the trans. If the ABS controller sees wheel speed, but not vehicle speed, it will turn on the ABS light. The VSS is located in the rear transfer case housing. But remember, it may be the VSS, related wiring, a faulty speedo buffer (usually located in the dashboard), ECM, or even the reluctor on the transfer case output shaft. You may want to have a shop scan "data stream", or even have them diagnose the problem.

SOURCE: Service Active Handling, ABS and Traction Control Lights on

I have had exactly the same problem on and off for 3 years now - and just solved it last week thanks to another computer site. Remove and disassemble both grounds from the top of both the left and right frame rails adjacent to the front corners of the engine block. Completely clean the green corrosion from the internal parts with fine sandpaper and add dielectric grease then re-assemble. Clean the mounting bolt and frame hole while you're at it. Sounds time consuming and difficult, but it ain't. No more than 45 minutes combined. I am a technical airhead so if I can do it so can you. What clued me in was the problem always occurred around wet or humid weather. Also, the clock would always lose time overnite. That has ceased also. Good luck. Anyone know why my left headlite, when deployed, vibrates and shimmys??? Sully [email protected]

Replaced coil packs in an 08 G5 GT now its running even worse. like its missing or out of time. Then the service esc and traction control came on and its making the transmission slam into gear

And the mystery vehicle is?

Since you have a warning message that means you have trouble codes stored in the computer. Getting those codes is your first step. GM uses info from the wheel speed sensors to know when to activate ABS braking AND to cut engine power if it thinks you're going into a skid or losing stability. So, you want to eliminate that as a cause of your running issues. I've seen people swear they have no power or bad spark plugs when the whole time the computer was cutting fuel to correct for a false skid.

What does trac light mean?

you need to service or repair traction control check fuses AND YES you can drive it for your trip --- --traction control explained as follows A traction control system (TCS), in German known as Antriebsschlupfregelung (ASR), is typically (but not necessarily) a secondary function of the electronic stability control (ESP) on production motor vehicles, designed to prevent loss of traction of driven road wheels. TCS is activated when throttle input and engine torque are mismatched to road surface conditions.
Intervention consists of one or more of the following:
  • Brake force applied to one or more wheels
  • Reduction or suppression of spark sequence to one or more cylinders
  • Reduction of fuel supply to one or more cylinders
  • Closing the throttle, if the vehicle is fitted with drive by wire throttle
  • In turbocharged vehicles, a boost control solenoid is actuated to reduce boost and therefore engine power.
Typically, traction control systems share the electrohydraulic brake actuator (which does not use the conventional master cylinder and servo) and wheel speed sensors with ABS.The basic idea behind the need for a traction control system is the loss of road grip that compromises steering control and stability of vehicles because of the difference in traction of the drive wheels. Difference in slip may occur due to turning of a vehicle or varying road conditions for different wheels. At high speeds, when a car tends to turn, its outer and inner wheels are subjected to different rotation speeds, which is conventionally controlled by using a differential. A further enhancement of the differential is to employ an active differential that can vary the amount of power being delivered to outer and inner wheels as needed. For example, if outward slip is sensed while turning, the active differential may deliver more power to the outer wheel in order to minimize the yaw (essentially the degree to which the front and rear wheels of a car are out of line.) Active differential, in turn, is controlled by an assembly of electromechanical sensors collaborating with a traction control unit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

I have an 08 Jeep Liberty.Whenever the traction control kicks in it makes a growling noise.Any ideas what this could be?

The "growling " noise that you're hearing is the ABS pump being activated. Anytime the Traction Control System is activated or detects wheel spin/slippage, the ABS module will activate the pump because of the wheel speed variations. It is nothing wrong with the vehicle unless the TCS or ABS lights come on and stay on.

I have been having front end problems, I was told both wheel hubs are bad and 1 outer tie rod, also that sway bar bushings are bad. I have been driving as little as possible til I can get fixed but tonight...

Sounds like you may have a symptom known as overactive ABS. What happens is one of the wheel speed signals is dropping out at slow speeds. The ABS is fooled into thinking the wheel has stopped turning even though it has not and activates the ABS system.

This can be caused buy a bad wheel bearing, which it sounds like you are in need of anyways. Start with that and if the [problem persists than you will need to scan the ABS module to see what codes are present.

98 mazda millenia traction control keeps turning on and the engine cuts off randomly

The traction control system senses wheel spin from either drive wheel. Excessive spin sensed by the ABS sensor will force the wheel that is spinning to brake to avoid loss of traction. You could have a faulty ABS sensor (wheel speed sensor) As far as the engine "cutting off" Do you mean that it shuts off completely or you cannot accelerate?

MESSAGE CENTRE TC

TC = Traction Active

If your vehicle is equipped with the Traction Control system, this message will stay on a few seconds after the traction system stops limiting wheel spin.

This message will appear when the traction control system is limiting wheel spin. Keep in mind that when the warning lights turn on, a fault code is stored in the ABS control module (in this case). Retrieving, diagnosing, and repairing any ABS system faults will be necessary to keep the light off. A common fault with ABS systems are the wheel speed sensors, stored codes may confirm this.

Hope this helps.

Traction controll light came on.

Likely, a bad wheel bearing or bad tires alignement, also, there is a ABS wheel sensor that is on the hubs on these vehicals that should be changed if the light that you are getting comes and goes this happens when the signal from the sensor to the ABS system has been interupted you can take it to autozone and have them clear the code for you till you can get this repaired these sensors can cost around 150 to replace.

Hope helps (remember to rate and comment this).
