nik7 Member 5 Member For: 11y 12d Posted 16/03/14 10:11 AM Share Posted 16/03/14 10:11 AM Wasn't really sure where to post this so thought id start here, I'm having problems with my traction control, car isn't tuned and it's a bf mk2 xr6 turbo After driving for about 5 minutes the traction control light comes on and when I press the button it won't go away, only goes away when I shut the car off. It also when going around a left hand bend feels like the abs/ traction control is kicking in and the front end starts shuddering and wanting to brake and the traction control light start flashing but after about 5 seconds it goes away.Iv cleaned all abs sensors and scanned it with just a obd2 scanner and nothing has changed. It's happened ever since iv had my car (3 months) so it's nothing that I have changed on it that has made it do it, any help is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem (fg) and turned out my battery was the culprit. But others have also found their brake light switch was playing up and caused similar problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
