Why does my TCS light stay on and keeps me from accelerating

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If the TCS (Traction Control System) light remains illuminated and prevents acceleration in your Maxima, it suggests a malfunction within the TCS system. This could stem from issues such as faulty wheel speed sensors, damaged wiring, or a problem with the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) components that are interconnected with TCS. Start by checking the ABS/TCS fuse for any signs of damage. Inspect the condition of the wheel speed sensors and their wiring for potential faults. It's advisable to have the vehicle diagnosed with an OBD-II scanner to retrieve specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that can pinpoint the exact source of the problem. Prompt attention to these issues will help restore normal acceleration and ensure the TCS functions correctly for safe driving conditions. If uncertain, seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or Nissan service center for further diagnosis and repair. If you have any other questions, please call us at 877-913-1554!
