Red tyre pressure warning followed by traction control on Mway

Chappers · 20-06-2016, 08:37 AM

Morning chaps,

My car had previously been parked up for a little while before driving it 120 miles yesterday. About 10 miles down the motorway the red tyre pressure warning came up. 3 were fine and one was a little low (1.9 bar) but with no obvious punctures.

Carried on to the services and before I got there I started to get some traction control interventions, to the point where I had no throttle at all and had to turn DSC entirely off to be able to proceed. I pumped the tyre up to nominal pressure and carried on after a more extensive check.

Initially the car was fine and then after a while again TCS started cutting in and I lost the throttle and had to turn it off.

Any ideas what this might be? I've left the car at my dad's, I can get him to check the pressure over the next week... But could it be a wheel speed sensor too?

Presume you tried a the reset routine on the pressure sensor (think it applies to CSL') ?

Didn't have time as I was on my way to an airport and had to just dump the. At and go. I was more concerned about the TC thing to be honest.
