When to turn off the traction control on a Lincoln?
Problems with TCS can include issues with its operation, warning lights and the braking functionality not working. Turn the TCS system off if the Navigator loses power when the vehicle is stuck in sand, snow or mud.
What to do when your traction control warning light comes on?
If a fluke in the TCS system triggered the warning light, it should turn stay off when you restart the engine. If it comes back on, it’s likely time to call a mechanic and get a system diagnosis. Until it’s fixed, drive gently and avoid hard acceleration that could result in the wheels slipping.
What does the stability control light do on a Lincoln?
The “Stability Control” light will illuminate steadily when the system is off. Turning it off will provide you with more power and allow the wheels to spin, which you may need to get out of the trouble situation.
What causes the traction control to go offline?
The traction control computer in your vehicle is the “brain” that controls the entire system. A defect, corroded contacts or water damage in this computer can result in the entire system going offline, which will turn on the TCS warning light. As the TCS and ABS often share a computer, this may affect your ABS system and turn on that light, too.

Why does my traction control light come on when I accelerate?
Below are the top 5 causes of a traction control light coming on when you are accelerating. Wheel speed sensors are connected to your traction control system and engine control unit. These sensors are responsible for detecting the speed in which your wheels are rotating. Each wheel has its own sensor.
How does the traction control system work in a car?
Most modern vehicles have a traction control system in them. This system keeps track of the vehicle’s steering performance and stability. If the vehicle were to lose its traction on the ground, the traction control system will detect this problem and then act accordingly to correct the issue.
What does the flashing signal on a Lincoln mean?
The flashing signals a TCS event, such as the braking function being disabled. Patrick Nelson has been a professional writer since 1992. He was editor and publisher of the music industry trade publication “Producer Report” and has written for a number of technology blogs.
What to do if your Lincoln Navigator overheats the brakes?
Sometimes, the TCS becomes very active and this can overheat the brakes. In that case the Navigator will turn off the braking TCS element, and only use the engine TCS element. You can either continue with only the engine element, or stop and allow the brakes to cool down so that you can use both elements again.
