Traction control faulty on Vito
I have a 55 plate Vito 639, it has traction control and when I switch it off the light come on on the dash to tell me, all ok there. The odd thing is when if you spin the wheels at all then the TC light goes out and then TC is working again, killing power and stopping the fun. Is this normal, meant to be like that or do I have a fault? If so what can be done to fix it? Thanks for reading. |

The 'ASR off' function is only meant for getting out of sand/gravel/snow i.e. low speed in a straight line.
ESP etc. remains active, and IIRC will switch ASR back on if it thinks it's needed. I'm pretty sure it happens automatically above a certain speed for example. |

I don't think so. Check the handbook, will cover it in there.
