Hello Newbie Question !

[dc04]

Hi everyone

I am a bit of an amature drifter and my is 200 (99) on a V reg is serving me well , very standard apart from a decat and 35 mm drop , At a local event on saturday I went to switch off the traction control as normal by presing the button but instead of dash display being solid orange TRC OFF it was flashing.

I suspect that somthing has failed and that leads me to the question , Does the traction control fail safe ie stays on , the reason I m asking is because although i can induce wheel spin and drift in 1st gear , the car vibrates and is not sliding in 2nd gear as it used to.

I have removed the 2 moduals /relays that have abs /trac written on them but still getting vibration and obviosly brake abs warning on dash .

Is there a fuse / relay that disables the traction control seperatly from abs that you can let me know about or does it default to being on , or has a component failed ie brake sensor that may be causing traction control to do this .

thanks in advance look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments
