Traction Control won't turn off - 2008 STI

[Scooby_Sam.94]

Hi all,

Had this issue since I got the car but I've done some more investigating since..

Traction control WILL NOT turn off, I have followed the sequence as in the manual in every drive mode.

I have had the button off and checked continuity and the button is switching.

The traction light comes on with ignition so not a bulb failure.

Traction control light will come on (flash) when traction is lost.

 

Any ideas or similar experience??

Thanks!

All you do is press the button there's not a sequence as such , If you hold the button down does it go into stability mode with the green light ?

Try just disconecting the Battery for 15 mins or so then reconnect this will flash the ecu , u may of had an abs sensor fault and it's just spakked out , also it could be the button you say it has continuity but it may be a normally closed switch so may break continuity to make tc go off , I'm not sure but could be a possibility

You tried pressing it with the ignition turned off? I seem to remember mine doing something similar and I can only change mine with the ignition off or on the first stage. Just a thought.
