	I have a 2001 Honda Accord V6. I read in the manual that the TCS button turns the TCS system off. My question is; why would you want to turn the TCS off? Does it make any difference, if so what? AGR

Sometimes you need to turn it off and have both wheels spinning regardless of traction to get out of a rut or such.

	That is mine does, it shows that the TCS system has sensed wheel spin. My question is why would anyone want to turn the system off. There must be a reason or they wouldn't have went to the expense of installing the button.

The only reason I can think of why you might want it off is when driving on winding roads. It might be dangerous if only one front wheel had traction while negotiating a curve. I would like to know for sure. Al

Well, I can testify that I've been stuck in the winter and needed to turn it off to get out. Often times as one wheel has traction and the other doesn't, that can switch quicker than the TCS which is why you turn it off in a situation like that. Also why many 4x4s put in aftermarket lockers to force their wheels to be locked (both moving regardless of traction) for off-road conditions. The only reason I can think of why you might want it off is when driving > on winding roads. It might be dangerous if only one front wheel had > traction while negotiating a curve. I would like to know for sure. That is exactly when I wouldn't want to turn TCS off. If one wheel doesn't have traction and is spinning (like it would be with TCS off) what happens when it is already spinning and then hits a traction point? It jumps, possibly forcing you to lose what precious little control you had.

I have never driven it in snow. I would still like to hear from somebody from Honda who knows exactly why they included the off button. Al

I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia and while we don't have anything that would qualify as mountains anywhere else, we have some large hills that make driving an adventure in a snow or ice storm. But, they can be handled without any problems with snow tires (no studs either), when the driver is driving according to conditions. I also drive tractor trailers for a living and we don't even carry chains here. Brian
