Traction control

[G Ps]

Hi

New to this, but can anyone give me some advise please.

I have the traction control light on the dash all the time. Pressing the ESP button has no effect. Apart from that car seems fine.

Hello Graham,

Many thanks for being in touch. Although I am not a fan of putting my dependence on plug in diagnostics, then you might have to resort to this in this case. 

This should diagnose which is the offending wheel, and you might find it’s an ABS sensor or an inferior signal to the sensor - from the hub. Of course this would be a guess (not what I like doing!) 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi 

Tried this and no fault code coming up.

Hello Graham,

It could depend on the professional level of your diagnostic equipment. 

Kind regards,

Hi 

Using OBD eleven which has removed and read fault codes in the past.

So, OK Graham.

Which wheel/s has your diagnostic equipment identified as being the offender/s in the last - as opposed to having the capability of masking the fault by extinguishing the warning light? 

Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi

Does not I.D. any wheels at all. No faults and does not remove the warning the warning light.

As said - Way forward - worth getting it checked with professional equipment. If you don’t, then you are struggling. If this doesn’t show up anything, then you are struggling anyway. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
