Q: Traction control
My issue is that my car check engine light and trac off light came on at the exact same time while I was driving in very hot temperatures. This happened as soon and I turned off my air conditioner. I've had the issue before, when I got my car repaired after an accident. Turns out my oxygen sensor was just loose, so my question is; could I possibly be having the same problem?
