Chevrolet Repair: 97 chevy cavalier, obd ii scan tool, powertrain control module pcm

Question
the ets off light came on plus check engine light. what is ets off light mean


Answer
Hi Sherre,

ETS stands for Electronic Traction System. It is the traction control part of the ABS(antilock brake system).
You have a code stored in either the powertrain control module(PCM) or the ABS module. When the code set, the ETS was automaticaly turned off. You cant clear codes on a 1997 car by disconnecting the battery. You have to use an OBD II scan tool. But before the codes are cleared, you need to find out what they are and if there is a problem that needs to be repaired.

Good luck.  I hope this helps.
