Traction Control Light

[thunder-flash]

Hi Fellas

I'm an owner of an IS200 SE Auto. I love my car! Whilst driving into work today through traffic (very low speed) the dashboard traction control light began flashing (intermitently say every 2 secs). Attempting to turn off the traction control with the overide switch made no difference. A minute after and a good rock of the steering wheel all came back to normal. I was not sure whether the ECU had gon beserk and was engaging the traction control or there is an underlying fault in the system. Any ideas please :duh:

it can flash if there's a fault on the car

edit:: are you on about the TRC light or the one with the car and skid marks (cant quite remember what it looks like)???

Switching the traction control off does not change the behaviour of the light. I switched mine off when we had a lot of snow in Copenhagen just to see how hard it was to control the car in the snow The light was flashing all the time when I was going sideways down the streets early in the morning :P

Hi. The light flashing is the TRC OFF light; was doing it again this morning for a moment.

might pay to get a diagnostic check on the car done. when i had this problem it turned out to be the map sensor.
