ok so i just bought a used z-24 cavalier auto and one of the 1st things i noticed was a ets light on and check engine light...now i know why the check engine light is on (no cat)but can anyone tell me what the hell an ets is and how to turn it off??
FEAR THE MINI
the light should be an ETS OFF light. I know the SF's have a button on the shifter to turn this on/off.
yea it says "ETS off"...any pointers on a fix?

Shifted wrote:ETS = Enhanced Traction System. You have to figure out why its on to be able to turn it off. Are there more engine codes other than the cat one? Maybe a missing or bad IAT sensor.
I just gave them to you. Get ALL the codes pulled and come back and tell us what they are.

shifted: no other codes are on.... just ets off and check engine...or maybe im not understanding what you are asking me to do??....??....???....

Bring it to autozone, have them pull the codes. When the check engine light comes on and/or the ETS light, the computer stores codes in memory to say what the problem is. A code is not a light, its a sequence of 1 letter and 3 digits. Autozone will pull the codes for free.

Shifted rocks
Too bad I didn't know AZ will scan the codes for free.... the garage I go to charges $25 to even open the scantool.
It can also be caused by the E brake not being fully disengaged.
