Trac light came on. what does that mean? - 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier

Toyota Dashboard Lights Symbols Guide

If you have the Check Engine and trac off light showing at the same time you have a serious issue. Take the car to Toyota in that case.

This means there is a problem with the trac and abs system. the way it works is that when the computer sees a problem with the abs or trac system it turns them both off. also if the check engine light is turnned on due to a problem the computer shuts down the trac and abs system as well due to the computer not being able to control the trac or abs system when there is a engine problem.

The first step here would be to have the computer scanned and get any stored codes out to find out where the problem is. Have the computer scanned for codes first.

MEANS TRACTION CONTROL SISTEM FOR SUSPENSSION ETHERE BAD FUSE OR A BAD SENSOR ON SUSPENSSION LET ME KNOW IF NEED MORE HELP

the trac light is the traction control, the abs light means the antilock brake system is not functioning properly. the trac control is no issue. the abs will not cause the brakes to fail but they will lock instead of pulsing.

why can't I get the trac light to go on when I start my car? It just says trac off. What can I do?

ANY TIME ABS LIGHT OR TRAC LIGHT COMING ON THAT MEANS EITHER ONE IS NOT WORKING NOT GETTING NO OR ENOUGH POWER.CHECK ABS FUSE AND RELAYS. IF RELAY AND FUSE OKAY.MAKE SURE YOUR ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE OUT PUT AT BATTERY SHOULD BE 13.5 TO 14.5 VOLTS IF 11.0 VOLTS DUE TO VOLTAGE REGULATOR FAILURE. THAT WILL CAUSE ABS AND TRAC LIGHT TO COME ON.IF ALTERNATOR CHECKS OUT OKAY.TAKE VECHICLE TO GARAGE OR DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE TO SCAN THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM.

There is a button (on the shifter console in my alero) that turns oof and on the "trac". I'm not sure of it's purpose but if I push that button, the "Trac Off" light comes on.

trac on trac off (traction control system)
tyre preasure light on mean that these sensors
may have been damaged or placed out of calibration during your brake repair

this means one of the wheel sensors are probably bad, car needs to be scanned for ABS codes,get back to me with the codes and we'll go from there. most major parts stores will do this at no charge

trac means traction control. it is usually used when the road is wet. to gain better control
