I have this appearing on my dash along with the ABS light, traction control light and yellow spanner and was wondering what was causing it and if anyone can help.
It did it about a year ago intermittently but then if you stopped, switched it off and then re-started again the warnings went off. after time it stopped doing it completely until recently.
Now it's doing it everytime I use the car, it seems to do it while braking and slowing right down (as at a roundabout or junction) the warnings don't come on when driving at speed and simply slowing for bends, it's always under about 10mph.
After the lights come on the car still behaves fine, the abs appears to work and so I presume the Traction control does as well, it's almost as though there is a brief, split second 'glitch' which causes the error code and warning lights to pop up before everything goes back to working fine. As per before stopping and switching the car off clears the lights and 9 times out of 10 it doesn't come back on during that journey. I've also had the car plugged into a diagnostic machine and it shows no fault codes recorded.
I'm thinking it's probably a sensor fault but wonder if anyone else has had a similar problem and if and how it was cured.
Any comments and theorys welcome
Many thanks Rich
