Miggy's having a problem with the in dash TC  warning light
And I'm afraid I'm not that well up on the technicals of traction control
If theirs  any kind soul who can put me in the rite groove in view of the
closeness of the MOT it will be much appreciated

Also accompanying the TC flag is the usual car/spanner warning this being there when the ign is switched on
I think the pedal trouble code its throwing up is 1 7 10 10
Thanks
Hope there's something I can try

You need to get the codes read by someone who can access all the systems. You may be lucky and find that once cleared it doesn't come back

Thanks L.D.
Hope your still keeping OK
Miggy's giving me a bit of a hard time @ present
Just replaced the Rear sub-frame bushings & a steering Idler
By what you say looks like Tech 2 is my only option
Once more thanks L.D.Ill let you know how I get on

Does the tc light respond when the tc button is pressed?

Code not related to tc
P1700 Service Vehicle Soon Request from Transmission Control Module

1700 implies its receiving "something unexpected" on CANBUS, which could be TCM for ABS. All 3 need codes read.

If it helps, I'll be near Scarborough this time next week. I can bring the Tech2 along if you fancy a trip to the coast on evening?

Hello,Chris,
Good to have your care & interest
To answer your query the light comes on with the rest when key switched on
It then goes out for a good 10 second pause
During this period it seems to respond to button off & ons as normal
When the 10 secs are up it's light on and button dead
Hope this is the reaction you hoped for
It's almost as if the 1st 10secs of switch on are a check period which is negative
If the light is switched on by button it stays on if off it then comes on permanently

IME, the 1700 code can throw up some strange symptoms, although I've never seen this one. Does the ABS light come on with the ignition as normal?

[Cliffo B]

Thank You T.B.
Wonderfull it most certainly will help
As we're retired can easily be anywhere anytime to suit yourself at your convenience

Hello all,
Now able to report that Migsy now has a M.O.T cert
This is with no small thanks to Migsy's meet with TB
He kindly in the very best spirit of oof allowed a little of his holiday time to make swmbo & myself a happy couple
At the end of all my worrying the trouble turned out to be the autobox fuse No 9 I think was blown plain & simple
TB replaced the 10 amp fuse & Migsy is now her old self

Good to hear it got through the test, and thanks for the pressie .  Was good to see you again

Did you get round to replacing that temporary fuse, which was a mini blade (as I had to nick from the Zafira) rather than the correct type, thus not as good fit? I had a concern it may come loose over rough roads.
