Show example Kia Forte Koup Traction Control Light is on Inspection prices

The traction control system in your vehicle exists as a driving aid during adverse conditions, such as rain, snow, ice, or poorly maintained roads. When the system is not working, it will illuminate a warning light on the dashboard cluster.

What it looks like:

The traction control warning light typically takes the form of the acronym “TC.” Sometimes this light is a small illuminated picture of a car losing control.

How this system works:

Traction control uses wheel speed sensors to detect when one or more of the car’s wheels lose grip and traction. When the system registers a loss of traction in one or more of the wheels, a computer will limit power to the wheels that are still in solid contact with the road to prevent a skid.

Common reasons for this to happen:

ABS is malfunctioning: Traction control and ABS (anti-lock braking system) often share the same control module and internal self-diagnostics system. As a result, sometimes an issue in the ABS can trigger the traction control light. If this is the case, then both the ABS and Traction Control lights will be on.
Broken wheel speed sensors: Wheel speed sensors are usually in the wheel bearing assembly, and determine the rate at which each wheel is moving. The sensors relay that information to the traction control module, which determines whether or not power needs to be shifted. Wheel speed sensors can get dirty or damaged and stop working, which prohibits the traction control module from knowing when to enable the system.
Traction control module is faulty: The traction control module – which, again, is often shared with the ABS – can malfunction and break altogether, causing the system to stop working.

What to expect:

A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to determine the source and cause of the traction control issue, and will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.

How important is this service?

It’s important to have the traction control issue investigated as soon as possible, as adverse driving conditions can arise at any time. While your car is unlikely to incur further damage from a faulty traction control system, it won’t be safe to drive in rain, snow, sleet, or other inclement weather, or even possibly through pools of water on the road. Furthermore, the issue that is causing the traction control light to illuminate could also be impacting the ABS.

Kia Forte Koup L4-2.0L - Car is not starting - Tustin, California

Amazing!! Amazing!! I could not recommend Chris anymore than the utmost best mechanic out there. I had no idea what I was going to do when my car literally would not turn on last night. I was very very scared as I have no clue about anything about cars and I couldn't even get it out of my garage. I checked my oil and my oil was fine, so I thought UH-OH. What am I going to do?! I have no help or support system at all. I googled mechanics and "what to do if your car won't start." I came across YourMechanic and had no idea this service even existed! My only other option would have been to get a tow truck to get it to a mechanic and the tow would have been at least $400, PLUS the mechanic's prices. Yikes!! To have a mechanic come to your house and help you out with car troubles, boy what a Godsend. There was good communication from beginning to end via text, email, and Chris called ahead of time to let me know he was even going to be early! Woo hoo even better. He explained to me many options and was very thorough in ways he could even save me money by not even going through his company. Luckily, in my case it was a dead battery. He quickly went to the corner store, bought a battery, and came right back to my house, and even took a look at other things with my car that might need future attention and noticed how awful my AC filter was and replaced that as well! I am so so SO stoked to have found this company! Amazing all around. If you are all alone in this world and have no family or support system, like me and have no one to help you out, when your car goes DEAD!!, YourMechanic is the way to go! He was very knowledgeable about cars in general. Wonderful wonderful. I recommended to my roommate as well. I was starting to look at bus schedule routes, which were very confusing and I'm so grateful to have my car back today! I have to go on many job interviews and have night class next week and I was downright scared everything was going to fall through. This service is WONDERFUL!!
