Spacers installed=no traction control?

dvboy

I recently installed 20mm/15mm spacers on my 2016 base and just noticed yesterday in the rain that my traction control light does not come on anymore when spinning the tires.The spacers are the only mod I have done to the car,so is it safe to assume the spacers caused this?

First time I've heard of this. I think your tires can still spin with it on, without the light coming on. If you get sideways it comes in...

I can't imagine any way spacers would effect traction control.

OK.....admittedly I am new to these cars,not familiar with the traction control system.I know when it's dry the traction control light would come on under a hard 1-2 shift,but is it normal for traction control to do nothing in wet conditions punching it in first spinning the tires?

Something else is happening. Did you install the spacers yourself? Were they bolt-on or do you have extended studs?

My guess is that a wheel speed sensor got disconnected or misaligned.

This. That's why I asked if he did the work himself and if replacing the studs was involved.

That may be low brake fluid level. Several threads on this.

The FSM has good descriptions of how the different nannies react and interact plus wiring diagrams, &c.

I'm not at all certain that a wheel speed sensor(s) is the problem. Seems to me that a bad sensor would cause the dash light to be on all the time. I haven't looked at that section of the FSM in quite a while and don't remember what the system does on sensor failure. But the sensor wiring/alignment is pretty easy to check and the wheels were worked on, so that's the first place I'd look.

They are bolt on spacers,no stud replacement required,put them on myself.

Maybe things are working as they should,today it's dry and I chirped the tires on the 1-2 shift and the TC light went on
