- The TCS light indicates that the traction control system is engaged and actively working to prevent wheelspin and maintain traction.
Brake Light:
- The brake light illuminates when you press the brake pedal.
When these two lights are illuminated simultaneously, it usually indicates one of the following:
1. Wheel Slippage: The TCS light and brake light may come on together if the wheels lose traction, causing the car to slip or slide. This can occur during acceleration on slippery surfaces or when turning at high speeds.
2. ABS Activation: The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) may engage when you apply firm pressure to the brake pedal, causing the brake light and TCS light to come on. ABS prevents the wheels from locking up during braking, allowing you to maintain steering control.
3. Malfunctioning System: In rare cases, the simultaneous illumination of the TCS and brake lights could indicate a fault in the traction control or braking system. If the lights remain on or if you notice any unusual behavior in the car's handling or braking, it is recommended to have the vehicle checked by a qualified technician.
Remember to refer to your Honda Accord's owner's manual for specific information and recommendations related to these warning lights.
