2 Answers
Buick TC slash yellow light switch is located on the center console panel. Below is an introduction to the TC slash yellow light: Function of the yellow light: When the yellow light is on, it indicates that the vehicle's traction control system is turned off. Simply turning on the traction control system will make the yellow light go off. Meaning of the traction control system: Traction Control System, abbreviated as TCS. Function of the traction control system: The traction control system controls the torque output of the engine, thereby preventing the drive wheels from spinning on slippery surfaces such as snow, allowing the vehicle to start and accelerate smoothly.
In my years of driving experience, the traction control switch on Buick vehicles is usually located on the driver's side of the center console—it's that small button with a skidding car icon or labeled 'TC.' I remember on my Buick Envision, it was nestled among the button cluster to the left of the steering wheel, requiring a slight glance down to locate. The exact position may vary slightly across different model years—for example, older models placed it near the instrument panel, while newer ones moved it below the central control screen. When that yellow light comes on, indicating tire slippage, you’ll need to know the switch’s location to operate it promptly, but avoid turning it off unnecessarily—keeping it on is safer. The system activates automatically while driving, and the light serves as a warning signal. Familiarizing yourself with the button’s position makes it easy to handle, preventing roadside issues. Check the manual or online diagrams if unsure about the location—once you’re accustomed to it, it’s hassle-free.
