0209 CLK

I have a 01 and the traction light is consistantly flashing off and on at all speeds. Car is stock and is my daily driver. Has anyone experienced this or know what could be the problem? Last resort would be the stealership but I'm sure it's an easy fix just can't locate the prob yet..Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

is the only light that you have on is the traction light? do you have a check engine light as well? if so just take it in to the dealership because your enigne may have thrown some sort of code, if you have warranty on your car it wont cost you any thing to fix/reset anything especially since you say your car is stock.

maybe you need new tires ... if your wheels start to slip, traction will kick in to try and get grip ... (haha i made a rhyme) ... my traction light goes more often now when it's wet out that my tires are older

Is it your traction off light and is your CEL light on as well? Dont get ripped off by the stealership. Just go to autozone/shucks/kragen and get an OBDII tester. You can rent it for free. Get the codes and report back

Most likely its just an O2 sensor is bad.

This usually means you have a bad ABS sensor. Also, your ABS light should be on at the same time. I had to replace a sensor in the gen 1, so PM me for help. I had the ABS control module code red at the dealer then I replaced my driver rear sensor and had to remove the back seat but it was simple.

It is your O2 senser in your y pipe. Is causes your traction contral light to flash and cel light on......Just replace your O2 senser

I just fixed mine! My Abs and Trac light was both on for my front weel speed sensor..just check al your sensors and make sure they are plug in! If not then there you go lol somethimes you have to un plug the clips and plug them back in...if that doesn't work then just replace the sensor use ebay!!

On an SC300/400 it means bad torque converter.

sopunds like the button is loose behind the dash insert. I'd pop that out and make sure it's plugged in securely.
