Ok, so I thought about it, the TCS is the transmission control module (I think). And I think that is part of the ECU (or a board that is attached to it). Anyway, if I'm right on all of this, it's electrical, so look around for a new ECU. Get it to a shop or find someone else who actually knows exactly what they are talking about.

TCS is traction control system. Is it a 6th gen V6?

Ok, I know that someone here has an '89. My bad. I guess PT is right, it's something with the traction control.

If the tcs light kicks on and the drive indicator on the dash starts flashing get ready to buy a new tranny.

You can call your local dealer and they will be able to tell you the particulars. I believe all 99-01 Accords have a 7yr 100K mile extended warranty.
