but play around in your profile page and there's a way to add a signature
my TC light came on shortly after I bought mine, it was just a bad speed sensor/hub.... now my TC/ABS/Brake lights are on, it's a bad ABS module, I just haven't bothered to replace it yet

Well then fix that. Then the computer will go into closed loop and the Traction control will come back.
The rationale is: if the engine is not running right, you don't need traction control. Most O2 codes inhibit closed loop operation.
Only about 1% of Traction Control problems actually are related to the traction control system. The traction control light does NOT mean something is wrong withy traction control, it means some condition exists that causes the computer to turn it off.
Reading ABS codes is
A) useless if you don't have ABS
B) only possible when the ABS light is lit
C) won't tell you ANYTHING you don't already know.
If this has anything to do with wheel sensors the ABS light would be lit.
