Traction Light came on Randomly - Any Ideas?
« on: 23 September 2013, 14:21 »
Hey up guys,

Was just cruising on a dual carriageway at around 75-80 in 6th, Traction light flashed up on dash for a couple of second then went off, but during that time the handling felt a bit funny / limp, kind of like when you get a flat.

So pulled over to check, and all tyres are fine. The road surface was normal and dry, my tyres have plenty of grip left.

Started it back up and all seems ok, it was very strange. Im going to scan with VCDs when i get back home, any ideas what it could be?

Only thing i could think of is a dodgy / intermittent ABS sensor.... :undecided:
