Answer
Don't burn it, Tell me where it is and I will come and get it.

You have a fault in the TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM.

To obtain the fault codes perform this sequence.

1. Turn ignition key to ON. Do NOT start the engine.

2. Simultaneously push and hold the OFF and WARMER (^) buttons on your climate control panel for 3 seconds and release them.

3. Look at your fuel data display and you will see codes appearing and after EACH CODE displays the word HISTORY or CURRENT will display.

4. The display will stop at PCM?

5. Tell me everything you see in step 3 above.
