TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT
Hello all==I have a 04 Accord ex, upon driving in the snow I noticed the
traction control light will blink, it stops when on dry pavement. Does the blinking light mean the traction control is working or a problem ? anybody know, please advise |

LOL...what, take 10 minutes to look it up in the manual rather than post a message here and wait 2 to 3 hours to get the answer? :-) |

Hey, come on you guys, be nice. We don't even know if he has the manual or
not. Not that it would make a difference anyway! > : Um, hate to ask, but what does your Owner's Manual say....? > > LOL...what, take 10 minutes to look it up in the manual rather than post a > message here and wait 2 to 3 hours to get the answer? :-) > > |

And he could have posted back saying (nicely as well), "I'm sorry but I don't have the manual so I can't check", but he didn't. The car's a 2004. I was assuming he's the original owner. And it would make a big difference because that's exactly the sort of thing they write owner's manuals for. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Brian, Brian, Brian. . . You're not helping things at all. How are we
supposed to teach these guys to actually RTFM if you give them the answers to begin with? You'd be surprised what you could learn for yourself if you actually took a little time to READ!!! > When the TCS light flashes, it indicates that the TCS is working. > > Brian > |

Re: TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT
I'm assuming you read the manual to determine the info is actually in there.
For something like the TCM light flashing, it would seem to be a sure thing, but you can never be sure. Before we bought our Toyota Prius I had heard chains could not be used because of the front wheel well clearance, so I looked in the manual. The FM doesn't say at all, although in another section altogether there is a clause about "when chains are used." And as pointed out, although it is a fair bet the 2004 will have a manual still with the car, for older cars it isn't. For the hordes of us who buy used cars (especially cheap ones), manuals are a rarity. Out of the 12 cars I've owned in 35 years, only 4 of them had manuals - and three of those are cars I bought new. Brian's direct answer is the surest way to getting the matter resolved.
