Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When light comes on car loses power. If tires spin light comes on and Car loses power no

Yup, with the fly-by-wire accelerator system, part of the traction assist feature is to reduce engine power. The other part is to apply modulated brake pressure to the spinning wheel. In other words - don't try to spin the tires
