Traction Control Problem
Hey so my car just started this issue like a week ago and does it randomly but normally only after 15-60 minutes of driving.
2005 Honda Accord v6 Sedan just hit 100,000 miles and now randomly but normally after 15 or more minutes of driving both traction control lights will show up and then no "tc." By both lights I mean the little triangle and a light that says tc right next to it.
Restarting the Car will clear the issue and the tc will work again but light normally will show up soon after. Any ideas as to why this happens?
Btw my passenger rear emergency brake is getting stuck a little too, only noticed due to the e-brake light going on sometimes after normal breaking and when driving in reverse you can hear the rear passenger brakes squeal like it is barely touching. Could these be connected?

When the Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator and the TCS Activation (!) Indicator are both on at the same time, there is a problem with the TCS.
You would need an OBD-II reader/scanner that is capable of reading Honda ABS/TCS trouble codes to retrieve stored code(s). Not all OBD-II reader/scanner are capable of reading Honda ABS/TCS trouble code(s).
With the exception of California, some auto parts stores will read OBD-II trouble codes for free. So, if you don't live in California, check if an auto parts store near you has a reader/scanner capable of reading Honda ABS/TCS trouble codes, and will read it for free.
