Traction control light off and on??
I have a 01 and the traction light is consistantly flashing off and on at all speeds. Car is stock and is my daily driver. Has anyone experienced this or know what could be the problem? Last resort would be the stealership but I'm sure it's an easy fix just can't locate the prob yet..Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

is the only light that you have on is the traction light? do you have a check engine light as well? if so just take it in to the dealership because your enigne may have thrown some sort of code, if you have warranty on your car it wont cost you any thing to fix/reset anything especially since you say your car is stock.

maybe you need new tires ... if your wheels start to slip, traction will kick in to try and get grip ... (haha i made a rhyme) ... my traction light goes more often now when it's wet out that my tires are older

Most likely its just an O2 sensor is bad.

This usually means you have a bad ABS sensor. Also, your ABS light should be on at the same time. I had to replace a sensor in the gen 1, so PM me for help. I had the ABS control module code red at the dealer then I replaced my driver rear sensor and had to remove the back seat but it was simple.

you guys need to get the code pulled. it can be numerous problems. maybe Auto Zone still does this for free in your area. click the link once you find out the code...
