If the TC light is on in your Chevy Malibu, it means that the traction control system may be malfunctioning, often due to a failed PCV orifice diaphragm. This can happen when there is too much pressure from the intake manifold non-valve, leading to the diaphragm breaking. Along with the TC light coming on, you may also experience an erratic idle and a vacuum leak. Some have also reported increased oil consumption and a noisy hissing sound from the diaphragm vent. While replacing the camshaft cover usually resolves the issue temporarily, it may not be a permanent solution.

    If the traction control system on your Chevy Malibu isn't functioning properly, a warning light labeled 'TC' will light up on the dashboard cluster.

    Traction Control is currently disabled. You can find the button near the temperature display, next to the 12v outlet. I typically only deactivate it when driving in deep snow, mud, or when I'm stuck. Disabling it enables you to ramp up the engine power to push through challenging terrain.

    Could a leak in the module intake result in the TC light coming on due to overheating, even after the mechanic supposedly replaced the intake gasket and thermostat? The dashboard light is now illuminated.
