check engine light and TCS light

Hey guys I went to autozone and got my car scanned and its my EGR. I plan on cleaning it tomorrow and it didnt throw any other code, but for some reason my tcs light is on also. Is this related or is it something else and its just not throwing a code?

The TCS will come on with the CEL a lot of times in the TL. It's just the way Honda designed it.

the lower does not get removed. just the upper. the lower only has the passage that goes from the egr to the upper im. That if clogged would need to be cleaned (by removing the egr itself)

take the upper im off and make sure every thing (all the holes), 7 of them and the egr passages on the top plate are clog free, then unbolt it. and clean the passage to the egr out.

Did you clean the upper IM cover and the 6 holes in the IM? Did you also clean out the main egr passage?
