As I was driving down US-17 in Fleming Island, my "Check Engine" and "TCS" lights came on. I decided to stop by the Pep-Boys to have it checked out. There's a tool you can connect to your car that can read the error "codes". Each shop has that electronic tool. Pep-boys can read the codes for you at no cost. I called the other shops and they charged anywhere from $60 to $85 to diagnoses the "Check Engine" light.
Ends up that my TCS, or Traction Control System, is malfunctioning. That's the system that helps prevent my car from slipping the wheel on a wet road when starting from a stand-still. More of a convenience instead of a necessity. It has to be repaired by the dealership. I'm not going any time soon.
But I am thankful that Pep-Boys read the error codes from my car at no cost. Thanks :-)
