TCS Control Unit

  1. TCS control unit has one LED. See Figure . Self-diagnostic system is functioning as long as engine is running. To obtain complete self-diagnostic results, vehicle must be driven at least 19 MPH (30 km/h), then LED checked while engine is running. The malfunction code is indicated by number of LED flashes.
  2. A long (0.5 second) LED flash indicates number of ten digits. Short flash (0.3 second) indicates number of single digits. See Fig 1 . For trouble code identification, see TCS TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION table. If TCS control unit displays Code 13, see THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE under DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
  3. After reading codes, see TCS DIAGNOSTIC SYMPTOM CHART under SELF-DIAGNOSTICS to determine which test procedure to follow. This control unit does not have a memory for self-diagnostic results. The malfunction code is erased each time ignition switch is turned off.
