Explain things a bit more! "Car doesn't want to move" so then your stopped and you have it in gear and push on the gas pedal and it won't move???? The trac system is interconnected with the ABS system and that with the brake system. Trac acts like a posi traction of sorts, if a rear wheel is spinning faster than the other then it applies the brake to the faster wheel.
When you accelerate how fast are you doing it? Are you trying to spin the tires? What happens when you turn the Trac off??? If you have one tire that is bigger or smaller than the other that will cause it to see an rpm difference and actuate the system.
