    Traction Control Light on under aggressive acceleration, then off

    Hey guys,

    So my car has a ko4 and I am working out the peripherals currently, but recently, when I drive her, and I accelerate aggressively, the traction control light will flick on and then stay on for a few moments after I get off the gas. I am not loosing traction though and there is not any wheel spin, unless a ko4 can somehow do that...

    I recently went to a winter driving school up in Dalton NH where we were drifting on snow all weekend, so maybe I have a sensor out of whack, anyone have any ideas of exp this before?

    Thanks

    I've found that traction control is pretty sensitive, if it doesn't keep coming on, maybe not worry about it. I've taken hard corners and was no where near slipping and the light would come on

    can happen if the ABS sensors are dirty (they're magnetic), or with aftermarket axles which don't have proper tone rings
