Trac always off when B&M Installed?
Sunday, February 04, 2007 11:30 AM
I have a 2000 cavalier z24 auto trans, and i just installed the B&M shift plus on it.

Ive read on here that its normal for the Traction Control light to come on in settings 1 or 2, but mine is on all the time. Is this normal?

it comes on for any setting you have it on. unless its off when you start the car. or you may have a traction control problem in the car.

Ya its been on since i installed the shiftplus, no matter what setting.. even when its off.

Would there be a code i could check? can it cause any harm?

I can tell the shiftplus is working.. it definatly makes a difference in settings 1 and 2.

Did you use the cheap connector that came with the kit? If so, solder the wire or get better connectors.

It does look like it. Many people had problem with the connector they have in the kit. I, myself, had problem with them so I just solder the wires. 100% better job and you can forget about it. it works 100% of the time.
