I tried recentering my steering wheel, using my procal to clear all codes, and I even checked the on board computer. Anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Its a 2012 with approx 12k miles. I recently put Rubi coils on it.
Thanks ze9900

It may reset overnight. Sometimes, if you have been driving on slick roads, that traction control error shows up.

Or, you could disconnect your battery overnight to see if the code clears (if you do, you would need to reset your clock, etc.).

FYI, the ProCal won't be able to center your steering wheel which the tires on the ground. Have u adjusted for tire size using the ProCal?

You can do the key dance trick to see if you're throwing any codes

Well last night I had to go to a wedding that was roughly an hour away. Made it there the light stayed on the whole way, about 5 miles into return trip home the light kicked off. So I don't know if it was because the steering wheel was off for 25 miles and caused the traction control light to come on, then I centered the steering wheel and had to drive it around to make the computer happy? Hope this helps someone else who has the same type of trouble later on...

Yes I've adjusted my tire size. I did the key dance and it didn't show any codes.
