    Lately for some unknown reason, when I go wot it's good through 1st and all the way up into 2nd until it hits somewhere between 4-4.5k rpm (unsure, but it is a high rpm), then it stop accelerating and sits at that speed and rpm with the TCS saying it is active. Doesn't run bad, only codes ever popping up are from my rear o2 being unplugged. Is this another damn problem with the abs/TCS wire breaking on me? Had it fixed less than a year ago

    Went out to see what it does. The couple times I went with the TCS on it would do this at different speeds (seemed at slightly varying speeds around 100-120 kph and 4-4.5k rpm). When off, it is fine. So it looks like it may be a yearly thing to replace that wire -.-

    Has anybody else had this happen?

    Pull the fuses for tcs and abs.. sounds like the controller is bad and requesting low torque from the pcm.. scan the abs module and make sure all 4 wheel sensors read the same speed and that they match the speed of the speedometer... The front abs sensor wires brake allot where they sit on top of the control arm it's possible one sensor wire has high resistance and telling the abs computer is spinning slower then the other 3, that would kick tcs on too.. if you pull the abs fuses and it still happens then you need a new pcm...

    Are you sure it's traction control too? And not stability control? Bad yaw sensor would apply the brakes on 1 or more wheels of the yaw sensor was malfunctioning
