I'm freaking out (of course). I was just driving home and when I hit about 120mph the TCS and the CEL came on! I'll admit my rear tires are bald... I mean bald. AND I'm out of alignment, at least I think so, because it's a little wobbly once I get into the higher speeds... so I've been expecting the TCS to be coming on soon.
So when the TCS light just popped on I wasn't surprised, but why did the CEL also come on? Maybe the CEL just came on because it sensed the TCS problem?? Or does this mean there is something definitely wrong with the engine??
I pulled over and opened the hatch while it was still running and everything looked and smelled just fine. I turned the car off, waited a few minutes and turned it back on, and the TCS light and CEL light are still on. I drove the rest of the way home (only 5 minutes, I know that was probably stupid) and let it cool off in the driveway and turned it back on and both lights are still on. (not flashing, just steady on)
Any ideas?
