Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So today as I was letting my car warm up, the sun hit my gauge cluster just right, and I could see some "dummy lights" that I'd never noticed before (not lit, but I could see their reflection) I saw the one for "TC" on the farthest left, but I didn't think you could toggle TC on or off in the base models. (i have a MY00 base) Then I thought, surely they wouldn't put the emblem there for it if I couldn't turn it off/on somehow. So.. is there a way to toggle TC on or off on a base model? (might be a dumb question) Thanks.

Some early base models came with TCS (traction control system). It was optional. The switch would be located on the center console by the e-brake. After MY 2000 I believe, Porsche came out with the optional PSM which rolled TC and stability control into one package.
