i noticed this afternoon that my TCS and ABS lights stay on when the car is on. i press the TCS button and it just stays on. is something going wrong? i thought i would ask here before i go to the dealer

 

Never heard of that. Just Check Engine light....

 

I would *guess* that there is something wrong with one of the ABS sensors on one of the front wheels. The ABS light is on, which indicates a malfunction. And the TCS uses ABS to eliminate wheelspin so if the ABS isn't working (which it won't be if the light is on), then the TCS cannot function either. Definitely time for a trip to the dealer.

 

grrrrr i guess ill go tomorrow. man this sux. i wonder what could have caused this?!
THANKS!

 

had that problem with mine when i had my struts replaced. place that did them messed up the wire that runs to tcs and abs. this wire was rubbed until it broke causing neither system to work. took it into the dealer and it wasn't a big deal i dont think. would have to look up what it ran me to get it fixed.

 

so its going to cost me to get it fixed? sheit i will roll around w/ a messed up car if it costs too much. so what is the warranty with acura anyways? will this be covered?

 

BE CAREFUL I have a similar problem right now every time I give it alot of gas mainly in 1 and 2 gear the ABS and TCS lights go off and that means that your abs isn't working I found out the hard way. Awhile back I was driving when this car infront off me hits it's breaks real hard then I do the same as a reaction but instead of the ABS kicking in and preventing my tires from locking I just skidded thank God I wasnt going to fast or else I would of hit the car in front of me. All I do is whenever the ABS & TCS lights go off I turn the car off and then turn right back on and if the lights don't turn off immediately they will turn off within a few minutes.

So, becareful

 

I had the exact same problem. Took it to the dealer and they replaced a sensor on the right rear wheel. Then the lights came on again and I took it back, not sure what they did the second time but have not seen the light since.

 

I took my car to the dealer on Monday because Engine Check light came on along with the TCS light. It was very weird because TCS light came on and it stayed on even though I press TCS button to turn it off. Anyway, I took it to the dealer and they say, something happened and it was faulty code. They had to re-set the code and never came back on so far. The code was something like interment misfire(I am not sure if that's right code ). Have dealer check that out.
