Traction control light on after fitting aftermarket steering wheel

[Mully1906]

Just fitted my new aftermarket steering wheel. Obviously airbag and service lights are on as no airbag, but also my traction control light has come on and won't go away :S.

Any ideas??

I know this might sound really obvious, but have you made sure the ESP button by your right knee hasn't been pressed by accident?

 

[Mully1906]

Yeah I pressed it a few times and the light won't go off. Unless an abs sensor or something has popped out?

Isn't TCS and Cruise on the same Circuit, so removing Cruise switch on Wheel might set it off.

if you have a Tuner or Fault reader it'll tell you whats wrong.

This may have been covered in the search section a few times too,

 

[Mully1906]

My model didn't have cruise control, which is why I'm suspicious :S

 

[Harbinger]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm in that case I can only say get a fault reader on it, it'll pop up straight away what it is.

If you wheelspin the car what happens to the light out of curiosity?

 

[Mully1906]

I don't tend to wheelspin a lot

 

[Harbinger]

Give it a go, it';; be fun ( off road of course ), if the light doesn't change and stays on the circuit is constantly open, all you should have to do then is find it and....................... well I'd say snip but probably blank off with a battery or something, similar job to airbag lights.

Steering angle sensor?

 

[mattjk]

probably the above. if the light is on then the system is disabled, you dont need to wheelspin to tell you that.

Did you twist around the wires coming out of the steering wheel when it was off?

Steering angle sensor?

This.
Follow the link in the thread I made and it should fix it.
