This will stop you from spinning sideways. As with many other safety systems, traction control will have a warning light that will briefly appear when the car is started. This light will then disappear, and this indicates that the system is fully operational. If the light does not go out, and it stays on permanently once the car has started, then you have a slight problem.
There could be lots of reasons why this has occurred, and we will help you get to the bottom of things further on. When you turn the key in the ignition, the traction control warning light should come on for around 1 to 2 seconds, and then it should turn off as the vehicle starts.
In the event that the light does not go out, it either means that your system has been deactivated, or that another problem has occurred. If this is the case for you, then you will need to find out what the problem is before you drive.
It is not recommended to turn off traction control on your vehicle when you are driving in normal conditions as this system is in place for good reason. Even if you are a great driver, the traction control system will work to prevent a loss of control much faster than you would be able to.
However, if you are driving in certain conditions, like in snow, ice, or mud, then it could be advisable to disable the traction control system. When you are driving in these conditions, the grip of the tires will be restricted, and they might not be able to work as they should. Many vehicles have a button you can press to disable the traction control or stability control systems. You may wish to disable traction control if you are stuck in deep snow or mud. In some cases, a little wheel slip may actually help free you.
Even if you disable traction control manually, it will likely turn itself back on when you restart the vehicle. Every traction and stability control system is different.
Likewise, so is the procedure to disable them. In these conditions, the vehicle may behave unpredictably. Remember, a rolling tire has more grip than a slipping tire. Look as far down the road as you can, and look in the direction you want to go. Remember to maintain a safe following distance.

The Anti-lock Braking System stops your wheels from locking when you brake which could cause damage and harm and also stops your car from skidding as you drive. If there is an issue with this system, it could lead to dangerous situations and thus it is always important to check it out. Sometimes the problem could be with the tracking control system computer system itself, rather than an external cause.
Sometimes it will just need to be reprogrammed. Remember to always take your vehicle to a certified professional who is knowledgeable on your particular make and model.
NB: Remember to get your car seen to by a professional if the traction control system is illuminating. While it might not cause serious damage to your car if the system is faulty, it can create safety hazards and could put you at risk when driving in snowy, rainy, or uneven road conditions.
