you have to have TC ive never herd of them lacking one and juz b/c you dont have a button to turn it off doesnt mean you do not have it my dads 93 etc had tc but no button to disengage it

Well then I dont have tc.I only have four modes to check for codes and not one starts with T for tc or abs. So since I dont have this there has to be another way right.

I am not sure what you are asking but, I am sure you have traction control. Get it on snow or ice and lay into the throttle. Traction will engage and would will be aware of it. You probably will get a TRACTION ENGAGED message.

Well I will try this but I dont have any type of diognostics mode with the T for tc or abs.

My car is weird.Can someone clear this up also I have a base modle 93 seville
and have the elctronic suspension up front and thought that was only with the N*.

You have a Seville with a 4.9?

In your first post, you mention a light has come on. What light are you referring to?

Ultimately, you want to find out why the light is coming on, correct? Any other codes in the other sections?

Only the ones stated above

My ac is low also but dont know if that will throw a code.

Low refrigerant will set a code if it is low enough. If the code sets, the compressor will be shut down.

What light is coming on? ( you mentioned a light in your first post)

What modules are listed in diagnostic mode, by that I mean what abbreviations do you see?
What codes come up when you do the self test?

Well, I know that the diagnostics mode is not completely comprehensive with what codes it gives out. Some of the codes you need the scanner tool to read, maybe this is one of them.
