traction control

Hi Al

I have had a weird problem the last 2 days. When I am on the freeway my TC comes on out of no where and starts applying the breaks. I have had it come on randomly before but for just a second. Now on the freeway I have to turn it off to get it to go stop.

Any ideas? I am hopping it is a bad wheel sensor

also I am pulling a code for a gross evap leak with no CEL. I can smell fumes when the heater is on but haven’t be able to find the source. My purge valve still works and the lines going to it are good so....

Again any ideas,

Yep, most likely just the car reacting to the flat tyre.

So, there is a wheel sensor for a flat tire...I've never thought about it.
