roberttherebel57 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 How do I engage the traction control on my 2004 grand voyager auto ? Also thanks to Mike for his help re. Glo-plugs.Working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mikebh8 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I'm sure it is always on, if you want it off, there is a switch above the steering wheel column ( between the steering wheel and the dash). Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 roberttherebel57 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Button shows traction off but yo cannot push the button down.It seems that there is something locking it.It does work because I have used it before but I have forgotten what I did to unlock it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bignev Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yes as you look at it, it says trac off, but must be stuck as mine's just a light rocker action, then the warning comes up on the dash if it's off. And it (the switch), won't stay down, and resets when the ignition is turned off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 soupstone Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Does your abs light illuminate when you switch on the ignition? Pretty sure mines was always showing trac off when I had an ABS fault, there may be other issues that cause it too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 andyb2000 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hi,Other than the stuck button (I've found one that has hardly any 'click' action, but it still works), if your TRAC OFF shows when you start and run, it's the same as mine at the moment. Mine is due to a faulty wheel speed sensor. If you're lucky enough to have a full scanner, do a check on the ABS system and it'll tell you if a speed sensor is at fault, otherwise you'll need to test them yourself. If ABS light isn't showing then it'll probably just be the wheel speed sensor and nothing more complicated with the ABS system itself. (FYI: I've had TRAC OFF illuminated as haven't got round to replacing the sensor. I can confirm if the sensor is disconnected totally you get TRAC OFF and BRAKE (the handbrake) light illuminated. ABS light seems to be triggered from another set of circumstances as mine isn't lit up (and yes the bulb works! ABS light should be on during first key position indicator test before starting)).

0 bignev Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 er hi guys, are we off at a tangent somehow! On my reply I meant the switch itself showing trac, not a light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mikebh8 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Did you try with a bit of WD40 and pressing it few tens of times?...I once dropped coffee on a switch and it stucked as it was glued.Just a thought, hope it helps.

0 bignev Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Hiya Qinteq, huh what ? What ref to DTC's? The OP asked how to switch ON the traction control, and said his switch was stuck.And didn't mention a problem, and hasn't commented on - the other replies (so come on fella chip back in) Has the OP @@roberttherebel57 got TRAC OFF lit up on his dash below the mileometer / trip? Or were you simply asking, as you were interested, as you didn't realise it's always on? Edited December 8, 2017 by bignev mikebh8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bignev Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Huh again, mine isn't stuck.There's nowt wrong with mine. I was asking the OP (who is still absent recently) if he was asking the questions, not you mate - I'm quite sure you know!

0 mnight Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Sorry to open an old thread. But my dash shows track off and whatever I do with the switch it still shows track off. How do I put it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bignev Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) As the posts at the start, it's supposed to be always on unless you use the rocker switch. Or there is a problem. I wonder if he ever got it sorted.... Yet another lack of information and feedback if it did or didn't get fixed! Any warning lamps on the dash lit? Try the key dance - turn to "on" 3 times in rapid succession not starting it, 3rd time leave in that position then it should hopefully give some code on the trip display to start us with.

0 QinteQ Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 One of the ABS speed sensors is not working. If the ABS can't read all 4 wheels it can't deliver traction control - ABS switches it off till you fix your problem. Eliminate the sensor before going further, cheap to do. Most diagnostic tools will tell you which one is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 QinteQ Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) From 30 March 2020, MOT due dates for cars, motorcycles and light vans will be extended by 6 months.

0 bignev Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Excellent information that mate, I was a bit concerned as MOT on one of mine is due early April and my gut feeling is we'll be closed down longer than this initial 3 weeks. It's only my thoughts, nothing behind it. QinteQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only my thoughts, nothing behind it. I'm end May, so would have been in 'no mans land'. I,m one Islander that's relieved too bignev ! Like you I'm at nearer 6 months than one, end April @ earliest before we enter the big lumping fist numbers even if we get all the right kit in the right place by end April. Andrew Cuomo reflects real fact others blow smoke ! Not political, I'm not American, he just gives numbers. bignev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
