1. Look at the dashboard. When traction control is off, the "DSC off" light will be illuminated.
2. Feel the car's behavior. When traction control is off, the car may feel more loose and unstable when accelerating. This is because the car's wheels are no longer being electronically limited from spinning, which can cause them to lose grip.
3. Listen for a clicking noise. When traction control is turned off, you may hear a clicking noise coming from the rear of the car. This noise is the sound of the traction control system's solenoids disengaging.
4.The "DSC" button has been pressed: If the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) button has been pressed, traction control will be disabled.
