traction control switch should be on the console
if not u might not have it fitted ans someone has done a cluster swap.. the abs... check the abs rings on the wheel hubs and make sure they all all still there.... and that u actually have abs rings at all!!

Does the light come on before or after the vehicle starts moving?
Are all 4 wheels and tyres the same size? |

If your au has got gas/fuel, the traction control wont work on gas, it will only work on petrol, mine has got the same problem, looks like you have to find an abs/traction control module, I think they can be repaired by a place in NSW, just can't remember the name

I have a 99 AU Ghia and I have the same problem. I got the diagnosis for free, because I was gonna pay the 'leccy 600 dollars for a fix with a recon unit. But ... I'm gonna buy the recon unit for $180 from the guy below and put it in myself. Regards from Cespenar Antony Pazin apaz@bigpond.net.au PO Box 6299 Parramatta BC 215o PH: 0423399286 |

Just a question...
Anyone checked the fuses in the inside pannel? there is a red 10 amp fuse you can pull out and it turns off the system.. i do it all the time for driving on the dirt roads... Just a thought... 1 dollar for fuse or 108 for ford???

I don't think so. He told me to remove the module carefully. Wrap it VERY carefully and send it to him. He fixes it and returns it. Regards from Cespenar. |
