I searched through the bulletins and other stuff on line but didn't find
anything on this. Has anyone heard about or seen where the TCS
light -traction control system- will illuminate when the RPMs exceed 3000 on
acceleration?

Thanks,
jb

Are the wheels spinning?

No. Not hard acceleration that breaks the wheels loose. The light comes on
and then stays on and can't be turned off. After the engine is shut off it
is off and stays off until the next time rpm exceeds 3K.

The indicator will stay on if the system senses a malfunction or if the
brakes overheat.

You need to have the DTC's for the ABS/TCS system pulled to determine what
is failing. It is probably one of the wheel sensors...
