See posting rules. When you have a new problem, start a new thread.

Suggest posting your alignment numbers. Any accident history or curb impact history? How is tire wearing; outside, inside, both edges, middle?

Regarding TCS, there are several faults associated w/ TCS Activation Indicator (triangle) On only (no ABS or TCS Indicator); 64, 65, 66, 68, 83, 84, 86). You will need to access codes to know which is causing DTC. See following link (DIY: SRS Codes and reading them. - Club RSX Message Board).

Post codes for additional help.

A shop manual (automanualsource.com) will help you understand meaning of above DTC's.

good luck

Default codes given but alignment ok

Although tcs and warning lights were on before trani went out... the codes trani shop gave me were as followed
51-01 abs pump motor
61-01 batt voltage malfunction (new battery)
84-01 sensor logic malfunction


No history of tire of wrecks. I'm second owner

Suggest monitoring your battery voltage w/ an Equus Battery Monitor.

Equus Innova 3721 Battery Charging System Monitor - Walmart.com

High or erratic voltage might cause TCS problems.

good luck
