| Traction Control Light & weird noises |
|
Morning All
A couple days back i noticed at a roundabout that the Yellow Traction light started flashing and there was this strange mechanical sound like something was loose and hitting something as the wheel rotated.
I stopped and inspected and there was nothing apparent.
However everytime I come to the same roundabout the same thing happens.
Looking for some advice to what this might be ...I may add that the air suspension was removed and replaced with coil overs a few year back.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Sounds like rain on a diesel spill on the roundabout is causing you to skid slightly and your ABS to kick in.

Yeah I did think it was odd that its the same roundabout and my friend also lost traction at the same point in a Hilux..!
However its the noise that was more of a concern as it sounded like id left the O/S front end half way round the round-about....

The ABS sounds like a bag of spanners has been left in the gearbox. It's a horrible noise.
