Mazda Millenia TCS light activation and bucking issue when accelerating on Mazda Millenia

Problem overview

Some Mazda Millenia owners report experiencing issues with the TCS light activating alongside bucking during acceleration. These problems can often be traced back to a malfunctioning wheel speed sensor, which is crucial for measuring the speed of each wheel and can trigger the TCS alert if it fails. Additionally, brake problems may lead to improper mapping, causing the TCS light to activate. Loss of traction, particularly in adverse weather conditions, can also cause the TCS warning light to illuminate as the system attempts to maintain control. Furthermore, some owners have noted that a misfire warning or a malfunctioning speed sensor can result in both the check engine light and traction control light being activated. Lastly, a faulty traction control system or an aging system may contribute to these issues. It is advisable for owners to regularly inspect and clean the sensors, check brake functionality, and address any misfire warnings or sensor malfunctions to resolve these concerns effectively.
