Traction Control/Slipping in normal dry conditions??

Hey Gang,

Every once in a while, whilst I'm turning left or right at normal to slow speeds I get a gridding and my traction control light starts blinking. Why is that? Is something with the DCS or traction control going out on me or what? ANy clues?

I have recently changes my lower & upper control arms, ball joints and all bushings. Plus installed BFG AT TAs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks much!

Sound like a tracking issue, had that after lots of suspension bits changed on mine. Sorted by 4 wheel alignment, which had to get redone after bushes all settled! Big Cry

I seem to recall a post where this occurred somewhere before, and turned out to be tyre pressures? Low on the rear?

Interesting....I did have the 4 wheel alignment after it was all said and done, but I do think my tire pressure might be low. What do you guys usually run at on the street/highway?

Thanks again for the input, greatly appreciate it.

Gaza,
This happened to me a while back, I contacted a friend who is a landrover tech and he advised to check tyre pressures. It turned out to be ns rear was low. Correct pressure and all was fine from then on, however I check my tyres religiously every week now!!!

...I checked the pressures. The near side rear was down to about 1.6 Bar! It didn't look flat, just maybe a bit soft. Checked all the other tyres and the Offside Rear needed a bit, both fronts were OK.
Result, no further DSC and therefore no ABS motor...
