I have a 92 sc400.
I haven't noticed any problems other than fishtailing when it rains.
But what concerns me is that not only is the TCS light on. The check engine light is on as well. Im pretty sure they came on at the same time so i think the problem is related
So anyways my question is, what kind of TCS does the sc4 use?
I prefer to fix things myself, so I've been doing a little research into traction control systems.
From what I've found is there are a few types of TCS.
1. suppress the spark
2. limit fuel supply or completely close the throttle, such as a drive by wire TCS. I believe this is what cruise control uses as well.
3. braking the wheels
I haven't seen too many threads on traction control here yet. But from what I've read so far is that it is some type of hydraulic system. Possibly integrated with the braking?
Am I headed in the right direction?
OH! I almost forget! My radio just went kaput, dead, useless.
With no warning.
It has a bunch of mumbo jumbo on the lcd display.
I read some where that the SC models come with a stereo anti-theft thing.
Could this be a cause?
I plan on replacing it anyways...could someone point me in the right direction for dismantling the console or what have you so that I might get in there?
