hi guys, my tcs switch doesn't work, when i press the switch it doesn't turn off the TCS.

I just got my car back from mechanic as my car couldn't start guess some sensor broke down. The mechanic rewire sth so it could start but then when i push the TCS button the TSC OFF light is not showing up on the dash. I wonder what's wrong with it.

Also, i got this TCS off , SLIP and Engine warning light on and the engine seem to crank and keep misfiring. But when i turn off the car and start again they gone again. I wonder what's the problem? Is sth wrong with the coilpack? as i feel the engine cranks so much n keep misfiring when those light on.

Need advise from everyone. THanks!

rewired what exactly? i cant think of anything needing re wiring to fix a break down on a 34. what was the cause of the breakdown...

because my mate's car got smashed at the front and cause has not spark to start up his car. When he turned on the car the engine just cranking and no spark to start it. Therefore the mechanic rewire sth to make it start. Perhaps i should get him to talk to mechanic.

I do not think my TCS switch is working in my car either. Although mine hasn't had any rewiring done or anything. From reading this thread looks like there is a fuse so I'll go check all that now.

One question i have is how is the TCS Off switch meant to work do you just start the car and press the switch and then TCS off will come up on the display?

Also is the switch meant to be like a light switch wear you flick it and it stays there or like spring loaded kind of switch wear you press it and then it comes goes back to it's original position after pressing? Just asking as mine is like the spring loaded kind of switch

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
