Hi My car shows Engine check and Traction off

Hi Ray,

The symbol is displayed when the Traction Control System is functioning, and the vehicle is automatically adjusting power output to compensate for low traction, and also applying the brake on overspeed wheels.

If the road conditions are not likely to cause this to occur, the it would caused by a faulty wheel speed sensor.

Several autoparts stores like Autozone, Oreilys and Advance will scan your vehicle for free and tell you what Codes are present. The scanners are different, so the store would need a scanner that has the ability to diagnose the traction control system with the ABS.

The Traction control works with the ABS to limit wheel slip. Intermittent flashing of the Traction light can occur, sometimes the brake pads are worn and do not respond as well as they should. The system counts the RPM of each wheel, applies braking and can interrupt power of the engine.

See what the scan shows.

Reduced power is a problem with electronic throttle contol . drive by wire . Do you know what this is ? Taking the vehicle an having it hooked up to diagnostic tool an checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes is always a first step when trying to find the root cause of any trouble light ! And not auto zone , pep boys , or advance auto parts . Thier diagnostic tool will not check codes in all system control modules .

I would prefer if you forwarded a clear picture of these lights or symbols. The only green light I can think of is the one in the top center. That green light shows that your gear selector is in Park and moves as you select a different gear position. I think the yellow and Red light that you speak of is within the top area of the RPM gauge. The Red light should have an "!" symbol and is indicating a warning. The alarm is a back up to also alert you of an issue. This could represent your tires or engine. You should send it in for diagnostics asap. The Yellow Light I am not sure of. I need to know what it looks like. If it looks like a car with wavy lines. This light represents your traction control. If your car contains the owners manual it is a great idea to familiarize yourself with it. There is a lot of good information inside.

its traction controle this happends when a tire loses contact with the road surface

Hi, viewer. The symbol that you saw on your dash is the traction control warning lamp. Well there are many possible faults, the best way to determine is to have it checked by a scan tool. You just did the right step checking out your tire pressures. Might as well check your brake fluid and brake light functions. Does your traction light come and go for some time? Try observing if this light come on when you make turns on steering, or when braking, or when driviong on rough road. Your observations can help slim down the possibilities. Okay?
Drive safely and goodluck. : )

It is a traction control indicator. It appears when one drive wheel has lost traction. This usually occurs on snow, ice, gravel or wet road surfaces. It should go out shortly after full traction is regained.

it's the traction control. Your manual has symbols and explanations regarding warning lights on dashboard. What it means is when you are driving and the road is wet or slippery, the traction control feature activates so you won't slip or hydroplane when you are stepping on the brakes. good luck ms pretty...
