Acura Legend traction control always on!

I have a 1994 Acura legend GS, the traction control is always on(TCS). What causes the issue for the light to continuously stay on.. and how can i fix this?

you probably got a sensor either out or going out.

Also during the snow season some times the ABS doesn't work because snow gets packed around the sensor. So if you are in snow belt and do not park the car in a garage, then you may want to have the wheels cleaned of any snow and see if the ABS sensor issue is cause VSA to come on.

I had the issue and the car was not able to engage ABS and hence both ABS and VSA were on and the car was throwing out body codes saying it had a front end collision.

If the light is on, that means the system has a malfunction. Most likely a wheel speed sensor, its common on high mileage cars.
