What is the Traction Control Switch all about?

Most modern vehicles are equipped with anti-lock brakes and traction control. Traction control prevents unnecessary wheel spin at the drive wheels by either reducing engine power or applying the brakes slightly. An override switch may be installed in the dash in the event that the traction control needs to be turned off, which would usually be used in a situation where your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, or for maximum acceleration purposes and a more driver-centric experience. On nearly all makes of light duty vehicles, the traction control button needs to be pressed for approximately three seconds to turn the traction control off. To re-employ traction control, a simple press of the button turns it back on. If the traction control switch is not working properly, the traction control may not turn off or back on when pressed, and a service traction control warning can illuminate on your dash. You may not be able to spin your tires to get out of a situation where you are stuck.

Keep in mind:

  • If your vehicle is equipped with traction control, it is best to keep it enabled unless you need the wheels to spin to get you out of a situation, such as getting stuck in the snow.
  • Traction control works in conjunction with the anti-lock brakes. If your traction control isn’t working, your anti-lock brakes won’t function either.

How it's done:

  • The traction control switch is verified to be defective
  • The dash center trim panel is removed for access to the switch
  • The defective traction control switch is replaced with a new switch
  • The dash center trip panel is re-installed and the switch is tested
  • The repair is verified and the vehicle is road tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If the traction control switch isn’t working, have it diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics. Have the button replaced if necessary to regain the traction control’s operation.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Traction Control Switch?

  • Traction button will not shut off the traction control
  • While traction control is engaged, the service traction control warning comes on

How important is this service?

The traction control operates alongside the anti-lock brakes, and uses many of the same sensors in its operation. If the traction control switch isn’t working properly, it may affect the anti-lock brake system and result in potential safety hazards.

BMW 530i L6-3.0L - Ignition Coil - Dublin, California
Mechanic did the job that was request. The problem has to do with the final price. I originally got a quote on the web for $199.67 and since this is my first time I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through with this so I called the 800# to get additional information and they said I will get 10% off if I book with them while on the phone with the same quote I got the web so it would be 180.67 to replace ignition engine coil. But once the job was done, I got a final bill for $215.25 When I called the 800# to get an explanation of the bill, they said the quote on the job was $235 and with the 10% discount came to $215.25 It's odd that the quote became $235 when it was $180.67. Clearly this is bait and switch to increase the final quote so with the so called 10% discount came to the same amount as the quote I got on the internet. The 800 # representative tried to explain that their was check engine light check that was done which was $99. If that was the case the bill should have been $324 so that explanation made so sense. Furthermore, if that was the case, they needed to give me a new pricing quote and let me know the new price for me to authorize and agree on the price. That never happened so I know the phone reps explanation was totally made up. The mechanic was knowledgeable and did the job well. The company tactics are questionable and I would never use this company as this was clear marketing and bait and switch approach. Make sure you get the final quote before any service is performed so you don't get nay surprise with the final bill that is different than what was promised.
