Idk.....A thing would come up on my DIC, Service traction, then it would flash traction off, and my TCS light would be on, Took to the dealer and they told me it was a loose wire....

Resurrecting thread.....yes you want traction control off. Why you ask? Because it is not about keeping the wheels from spinning -- when a drive wheel spins ( and it doesn't have to be a lot) it sends this information to the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) which then sends a signal to the ECM to cut engine power by reducing the amount of torque to the drive wheels. Engine power is cut by retarding the spark and turning OFF fuel injectors. In really simple words....IT SUCKS! If you line up an auto 2.4L against an auto 2.2L (without TCS) and leave the 2.4L tranny in "I" or "D" the 2.2 will run away from you
the stupid TCS will kill engine power enough to let the 2.2 get ahead of you and you have to play catch-up.
Lifting my e-brake does not turn off the TC either....only selecting "L" does.
