Default Traction Control System - 2003 Honda Accord Coupe

There seems to be nothing but electrical issues with this car. 1 year after I purchased the car the ABS harness caught on fire --- everything was replaced, honda would not give me a new car. Next the radio goes.... and now this

The TCS stays on all the time. Im glad I bought an extended warranty.

anyone else having problems?

I've seen the brake lite switches going bad causing the TCS to come on. Do you still have break lites?

The Traction Control System acts as an auxiliary function of the ABS (selectively applying individual brakes on wheels it senses as spinning (loosing traction). Although the radio isn't, the TCS is related to the ABS system.
I'd go back to Honda and politely tap on someones' shoulder "ahemmm" "Looks like a come-back 2 me"

Is the traction control light the exclamation point or do the letters TCS show it is on. I don't know if the exclamation point is supposed to be turned on to turn on the Traction control.
