hmm...I've heard of TPS (Throttle position sensor), CTS (Coolant temp sensor) but TCS = Temp Compenstation Sensor (????)

Sorry man you are SOL (sh*t out of luck)

I looked into it and unless you want to remove your ABS brake system you can't get rid of the TCS

The TCS is integrated into and controlled by the ABS computer

How it works is when a wheel starts to spin the ABS computer activates the brake onto the wheel that is spinning so that the torque is transfered to the other wheel that has traction.

So if your left front starts spinning the left disk brake will clamp down which sends all the engine torque to the right side

So unfortunatly it's ABS/TCS together or nothing

I can certainly provide you with the location of the ABS unit but I personally wouldn't remove it.

I have all the diagrams and descriptions for the TCS but really it's just telling you what I've said above.

It was the Leganza.... it has traction control built into the ABS computer and it also had a computer controled suspension system.

there isn't a switch to turn off the traction control. that's strange. every car i have seen with tcs has a button to turn it and off.

I dont know if my Leganza has the Computer controled suspension, I know I have the TCS and ABS.

On my cluster, I have 3 lights that never come on and and two of the the owners manual doesnty even show them

They are: ICS DRL SPORT

I know DRL is for daytiming running lights, which I dont have, but what are the other two? After reading your post i was thinking they might be to the above mention computer controled suspension..

also could you tell me if it is possible to make use of these indicators? are there parts i could retrofit to make these things work?

I bet that ICS is really TCS which is Traction Control System

Sport is for the "sport" button on the automatic transmisson models

This make the tranny shift more agressively.

DRL is indeed day time running lights which all cars in Canada must have.

Independent controlled suspension= ICS I think Sport is the suspension

I have a 01 auto Leganza CDX. I do not have the suspension thing on my car. Those features can be found in the owners manual. these features can not be added on except at the factory, which means impossibe. I'll get more info if any one is interested, just hit me bacl.

So I was thinking, what if the ABS or the TCS fuse blew. The power would be taken away and in theory they would be off. Works for DRL why not for ABS or TCS. They both have a fuse. Might want to try it if want but no promises.
