P.S. any one know why its the z24 in canada and the LS sport in the U.S.
there should be a switch to turn on andTraction Control System Indicator(s)
Low Traction
The IPC illuminates the low traction indicator when the following occurs:
• The electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a traction control event. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination.
• The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
Traction Off
The IPC illuminates the traction off indicator when the following occurs:
• The electronic brake control module (EBCM) inhibits the traction control system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination. The traction control system is disabled when the following occurs:
- For Chevrolet only, the shift lever is in FIRST (1) or SECOND (2) gear. The EBCM receives a class 2 message from the powertrain control module (PCM) indicating the gear position.
- For Pontiac and Oldsmobile only, the body control module (BCM) detects that the traction control switch is pressed (signal circuit is low). The EBCM receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating the switch status.
- The BCM detects that the park brake is engaged (signal circuit is low) and that the engine is on. The EBCM receives a class 2 message from the BCM indicating the park brake status.
- The PCM detects certain malfunctions and is unable to perform torque reduction requests from the EBCM. The EBCM receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating that traction control cannot be performed.
• The EBCM detects a malfunction in the traction control system. The IPC receives class 2 messages from the EBCM requesting illumination of both the service vehicle soon and traction off indicators.
• The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
off taraction control.
Look in your manual and look for the section where it talks about traction control. I have a Sunfire so I don't know if theres any difference but I am able to turn my traction control off and on with a button that's on the left hand side of my steering wheel.
Like said...the answer should be in your manual.

there is no button on the cavy's. Your best bet is to put the shifter in 1 or 2 or pull the 2-brake handle 1 click.

I have a 4-speed Auto with ABS and OPTIONAL traction control. I got a nice little button to push if I don't want it on...I love my sunfire

Take off your window switch if thier power...under there you can see the wire for the parking brake. That wire if u run it to it a switch and from the switch to a ground , when u flick the switch the car will think the brake is on so it will turn the TC off. Use like T connectors....Clamp it around the wire....Then around run that to the switch...and the switch to any ground.
