Hello

The other day while on a road trip I noticed the "trac off" light was illuminated. I pushed the button to turn it back on but it stayed off. I ignored it until I filled up and restarted and Its now functioning normally. At what distance to empty does the light come on? ( I was at 86kms to empty) is there potentially something messed up?

mine never goes off with low fuel. i've had it pretty low before.
(enthusiastic back roads and forgetting to check the fuel level )

I dont think it has anything to do with the fuel level. This has happened to me twice where the Trac light would go on and i couldnt turn it off. I dont know what my fuel level was but it def wasnt under 1/4 of a tank. Never leave it that low. I think its just a minor glitch or something idk.

I completely ran out of fuel once, never had a traction control light come on. But when on the hwy, twice now I have had my TPMS light come on for a few miles then go out again...

^^I had my tpms light come on driving around town, went to a store, came back out and it was off..n that was under 800 miles on my car

Hmm that's interesting.

On the last trip home I let my tank get close to empty. The low fuel level warning came on around 1/16th of a tank, pretty damn close to empty. When I filled up, I tanked 12.5 gallons.... over a full gallon away from truly empty.

The traction control has nothing to do with fuel level. When you restarted the car after refueling the traction control got reset.

I don't know why it happened, but it is not related to fuel.

I appreciate the replies, "glad" to see it wasnt just me. I realize the systems are not connected hence my concern. If it does it again I will perhaps mention it to the dealer.

You know I've had some strange thing happen with my T/c light being on after I re start the car after filling it with gas.. thats happened twice and both times I was scratching my head.. wondering if I somehow turned my T/c off but I just started the car?

maybe I turned it off with out knowing it but both times I was like huh?
don't know thought I'd share lol

update: this issue is related to the ultra gauge I use for mpg tracking. if it fails to start sometimes it will trip the trac control light. restarting the car/ resetting the u/g fixes it.
