Strange traction control fault


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all 

Just took my Verso 2004 to have its tracking done(it had been tracked previously with the steering not centered) when i left the garage on a series of largish close together roundabouts the traction control light flickered on and the car would hardly go round the second roundabout???

it was juddering like crazy so i pulled over and phoned the garage then limped back there with no sign of the fault....so  i looked like a right Mugg!

The mechanic who took it out and said he could not find anything wrong apart from the door light flickered on a few times so i joined him for a thorough test drive ...again no sign of the fault

Anyone with any idea what was going on ??? have experienced something similar?

I am really worried as i only just purchased the car, & traveled some 90miles home(mostly on A roads) with no issues.

Plus i am planning some seriously long distance trips, in the Verso, to France, Spain and Portugal

I had a similar problem after having tracking (wheel alignment) done. I noticed it was checked using the four wheel alignment system. Hardly gone quarter mile up road and VSC/traction control light came on and off a few times, so back to tyre depot, rechecked alignment but this time using front wheels only (not 4wheel). Took out for test run, no problem !  Think it was because using the 4 wheel system no allowance made that front track is wider than rear track by 10 mm.
