NO - Replace the fuse, and recheck. If the fuse is blown, check for a short to body ground in this fuse circuit. If the circuit is OK, replace the ABS/TCS modulator-control unit.
2. Check the No. 21 (7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/ relay box.
Is the fuse OK?
YES - Reinstall the fuse, and go to step 3.

10. Do the Gauges Self Diagnosis Procedure.
Does the TCS indicator flash on and off?
