If you believe the traction control isn't working correctly, the problem isn't something you reset with a button. Instead, you should:
1. Check the ABS light: Is the ABS warning light illuminated on your dashboard? If so, this indicates a problem within the ABS system, which also affects traction control. This requires professional diagnosis.
2. Check your brake fluid level: Low brake fluid can affect the ABS/traction control system.
3. Check for blown fuses: Consult your owner's manual to locate and check the fuses related to the ABS and brake systems.
4. Have it professionally diagnosed: If the ABS light is on or you suspect a problem with the traction control, take your Cavalier to a qualified mechanic or auto repair shop. They can use diagnostic tools to check for error codes and identify the cause of the malfunction. The problem could be a faulty sensor, a wiring issue, or a more serious problem within the ABS/traction control module.
Simply put, there's no reset button. A malfunctioning traction control system requires professional troubleshooting and repair.
