What do it mean if tcs light on and car doesn't want to pick up speed

Asked by Shaunte Aug 02, 2014 at 01:10 PM about the 2003 Acura TL 3.2 FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1 Answer

TCS is Traction control system. A bad wheel speed sensor may make the system 'think' one wheel is spinning much faster than the others, and regulate engine power.
