Traction Control Flashing every so often - why ?
« on: July 27, 2009, 10:12:47 pm »
My traction control light keeps flashing every 5 mins or so ?  ( yellow light with car skids icon )

There is a slight shudder when it flashes with the car... the brakes work fine... im trying to fatherm out why its doing this...



Hope not an expensive fix... considering taking it to the stealers... anyone what this might be ?



Really worried in some case :scared:
