Do the M6 Trans Ams come with a TCS switch? I have looked at some and everyone doesn't have the TCS switch on it. Enlighten my noobness please. Thanks guys.

Yes my 2000 M6 has TCS that i can turn off with a button.

I believe it was an option. Mine does not have it.

**TACE02** · 05-10-2007, 07:20 AM

Yes it was an option.

**urstolendesire** · 05-10-2007, 07:20 AM

yeah it was an option that i seem to be doing great without...

**bwinch** · 05-10-2007, 07:32 AM

Never use it but Yes I do have it.

So if it doesn't have the switch does that mean TC is always on?

**rajiv1998** · 05-10-2007, 09:41 AM

its an option, i think if u have the TCS u dont have crise controll and vise versa

No switch means no traction control. You can have both TC and cruise - unless I have a real rare car(dont think that is the case

)

No switch, No TCS.
When I drove one with TCS, when I did a burn out and broke traction, it felt like someone was pushing the peddle up.

I have both TCS and cruise. I keep the TCS when im not racing only because i cant stand the TCS OFF light on my dash staying on all the time. Thats not what it feels like in mine, just the motor cuts out for a sec. The peddle doesnt move on mine.

I have TCS, but no switch, and I do have cruise control. it's weird cuz my TCS hardly ever initiates...even when I spin the tires like crazy. I think the 4 months I've had the car I have seen it initiate like 4 times...

**2000T/A Guru** · 05-10-2007, 10:12 AM

get it eliminated

I have a 2000 trans am with an automatic transmission and whenver i break traction and the tcs is on it feels like someone is pushing up on my foot!! Creeped the hell out of me the first time it happened!

Apparenty your cars dont like going fast.

**clg82** · 05-10-2007, 10:32 AM

how do you get it eliminated without having the light stay on all the time?

**BULLET_WS6** · 05-10-2007, 12:38 PM

I am a full time hater of TCS cuz mine kicks the shit out of my leg when its wet... it kicks me when i don't even think my tires are spinning.. ugh

From what I have seen and heard - no switch no TCS, dash indicator light 'low traction' does not mean you have TCS if that is what you are thinking, without the TCS the computer senses that you have low traction but takes no action or actions have no effect since entire system is not there(other than displaying the warning light)
