I could be wrong because I never owned an auto J, but I thought it was most of the 4 speed autos.

I think he is looking for a switched traction control and if that is so then I only know of sunfires that had it. I could be wrong but i guess it woudl be pretty difficult to install but with the right wiring figures it should be pretty easy.

Dude, I wouldn't think it'd be that hard.
It prolly goes back to the bcm somewhere. Just trace it an see where it goes.

I'll see if I have any diagrams for it.

well they have to have ABS to have traction control if that helps...

adding traction control control would mean adding ABS

Traction control was a feature on cars with the 4 speed automatic transmission. Pontiac's came with a button to turn it off. To turn it off in your cavalier, just pull your e-brake up one notch or make a switch that grounds out the e-brake cable-- thus, causing the computer to think the ebrake is engaged. I don't think ABS was a necessary feature, as this TCS system simply adjusts timing to reduce power output.

it has to have ABS... without wheel speed sensors it doesn't know your losing traction

with the cavis you also can put the gear selector in 1 or 2, and the ets off light comes on

My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
