Traction Control - Code 19


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys!! :)

I hope you're OK.

Just before I took my 1993 LS in for service the last time [about a month ago] the traction control light came on. [and stayed on] And ONLY the traction control light. I was quite hopeful that finally my sluggish acceleration problem [when 'floored' from a dead stop] would finally be resolved. It almost always feels as though the car is braking whenever I accelerate extremely aggressively. But all I was told when I picked up my car was to see if the traction control light comes on again. So far - it hasn't - but the car wasn't fixed. [they didn't even try to fix it - they just cleared the computer's memory]

QUESTION: Apparently 'code 19' means that the traction control PUMP is running excessively. [more often than it should] To MY way of thinking - if the TC pump was running when it SHOULDN'T be - THAT would create the feeling I very often have of my car 'braking' when I'm pressing hard on the gas pedal. [petrol pedal?] That does make sense - doesn't it? So what might cause the TC pump TO run when it shouldn't?

Thanks,

Craig!! :)

jack the car up and spin the wheels by hand. This is a good way to see if the brakes are dragging. BUT I imagine with Traction Contriol, perhaps they only drag wh the engine is on, Oh well jack the car up when the engine is still running.

Take care, good luck.
