I bought my 98 about 4 weeks ago, and the owner didn't have a manual, so here is my question...I was testing the 0-60 limits of the car earlier today, and about 1-2K RPM's from redline in 1st gear, this yellow light comes on and off at the top of the instrumentation. It wasn't on long enough for me to see the logo, since it disappeared either after a split second, or after I shift to 2nd. Since I don't have the manual, can someone shed some light on this?
that "yellow light"
- Thread starter whatisreal7
- Start date
Probably TCS (traction control) - other yellow indicator is ABS.
Tip - turn on ignition without starting - all your test lights will display.

The yellow light in the middle is the TCS (traction control light), when you get a bit og wheel spin.
Keep testing :biggrin:

haha, i feel stupid...thanks! No wonder when I shifted into 2nd it didn't chirp as I expected it to. So if I turned off TCS, I'd be laying tracks on the pavement? =)

Yes....depending on your mods and tires...but take off the TCS "traction control" before doing serious driving....like burning out, or drag racing or else you might damage your clutch if your doing hole shots.

Be careful, if you shift hard enough, with the traction control off, you can get squirrely really easy. Be sure to only turn the traction control off after your very sure of your RWD powershifting, and youve done it a few times on a deserted road with no one around to practice rwd powershifts without TC.
Traction control? whats that?
:biggrin: :wink:
My "TCS off" light is on so much, I am surprised it's not burned out.
