Just got done changing my lower control arm on the passenger side, I still have yet to change the upper which I need to. But I realize now my Traction control light is on. Now my car is way out of alignment but I'm waiting to get the UCA, and install it first, then go for alignment.

But I notice that it's not a constant light. When I start the car the light isn't there, then after driving for a few blocks the light appears. Now I know from experience that if the abs sensor behind the hub is disconnected/damaged it would cause the TCS to go off along with ABS lights and the rest of the works, but only my TCS light is on (the yellow light with the car and squiggly lines).

I double triple checked the connector behind the hub to make sure its intact/connected/undamaged and it seems to be fine, and the fact that the lights comes on after a few blocks of driving leads me to believe the TCS is tripping because of my misalignment.

Just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem and if it really is my alignment issue or could it be something other than the alignment and abs connector/harness behind the wheel hub.

This light in the picture. Not my car but using the pic for an example.

 

Bump. No one ever have this issue?

 

Yes. I have had a misaligned steering wheel set off the light. Once you get the steering wheel properly oriented it will go away.

 

Pretty much my exact suspicion. Just wanted to be sure. My wheels is about 45° to the left, once I get that sorted should be fine. Thanks man.
