The 2013 Dodge Avenger's Traction Control system, also known as "TC," kicks in when the wheel sensors detect hazardous or slippery driving conditions by reducing power to the wheels maintaining grip on the road while others are slipping. This feature is automatically activated in the Avenger, with the TC light turning on to indicate its operation. Both the Avenger's ABS brakes and traction control are controlled by a single module. If both warning lights come on simultaneously, it suggests an issue with the system, often caused by a malfunctioning wheel sensor that the module relies on for proper function. The typical cost to replace a wheel sensor in the Dodge Avenger ranges from $150 to $200 for parts and labor.

The part is priced at $14. Remove the tire, unscrew one plug and three bolts, swap out the part, then reattach the tire. You can handle this yourself without having to fork out money for someone else to do it.
