[adey]

does anybody help me with my tracs it dont work , my abs works great please help

When you say it doesn't work how do you mean?

On the 850's the tracs only works up to about 20mph so its pretty much useless and you never really get much in the way of benefit from it

Then you have an issue with your abs ecu..., try reading your codes....
Does the ABS light stay on too?

Correct Nat, Tracs is pants and only really works in the snow...It is often considered an equivalent to a LSD, which of course it is far from.....lol

so far iv had the switch out made sure it is clean and ok put it back in , pulled the dial cluster out and found it was is all ok so put back together , right now the brake pedel has a pumping feel to it now and wen i 1st start the car in morning i can turn the tracs on or off but as soon as i move the light just stays on . my abs ecu is all in one with the main ecu is that correct

Hi, your abs ecu is a different unit and is situated either next to the N/S suspension leg on the early cars and bolted to the bottom of the abs pump on the new ones...What year is your car and do you have a obd11 socket under the coin rack by the gear selector lever?
