A few questions. :p

Question 1: TCS.

TCS = Traction Control System

So when I click the button and the light comes on in the dash, it means TCS is active. Sounds stupid, but yeah. I've never owned a Honda/Acura before.

Question 2: ABS

Apparently the ABS system is a hell of a lot more... uh... Yeah, no words. What's the whole system do? My Infiniti J30 had ABS, but no lights or anything along those lines. My light is on, but I know what problem that is.

Question 3: Scan tool that reads ABS/other codes

What tool, specifically (purchasable), can I get to check all of the "other" codes that might pop up? I already have an ODB2 scanner that even gives real time data.

Question 4: Why am I still shocked when I walk outside to my driveway and see a mean, sexy, classy looking car there?

Question 5: Which is better? Peanut Butter and Honey or Peanut Butter and Jam/Jelly?

Question 6: Is there a way to undo cigarette damage to the interior?

1) Light on means TCS off.

2) Your light could be from that stuck wheel speed sensor you mentioned on the right rear wheel.

3)Not too sure, I had a laptop-based diagnostic tool that I gave to a friend.

4) Because it's a sexy car which has a body style that unfortunately won't come back since people seem to like bubbles nowadays.

5) PB & J!

6) Short of replacing I don't know. I drove one of my chefs home once when he was drunk and he practically put out his cigarette on the A-pillar trying to get it out of the window.

~Cheers~

You can use an OBD II tester at any Autozone for free, or you can purchase one. They run right around $100 I believe for a basic one.

The basic ones don't reset SRS and ABS, though.

My ODB2 tool is pretty good, but it doesn't seem to read those codes. :/
