1994 sts mechanic is telling me that the traction control pump draining battery causing car to be boosted every two days can this true?

It is possible that a malfunctioning traction control pump could drain the battery of a 1994 Cadillac STS, causing the car to need to be boosted every two days. The traction control system uses a pump to generate hydraulic pressure that is used to control the brakes and engine power when the car detects wheel slippage. If the pump is faulty, it could continue to run even when it is not needed, draining the battery.

Here are some symptoms that may indicate a problem with the traction control pump:

- The traction control light on the dashboard is illuminated.

- The car feels like it is slipping or skidding when it is not.

- The brakes feel soft or spongy.

- The engine hesitates or stalls when the traction control system is engaged.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have the car inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine if the traction control pump is the cause. If the pump is found to be faulty, it will need to be replaced.
