Thing is its a bit scary when you two lights coming on and not going out as they should after a few seconds according to the handbook,
today the ABS light and the TC lights have stayed on, and I get the feeling the TC is activating and slow things down. What is the fix remedy
anyone please, where is the bloody TC hiding on my 2.5 DSE 1997 LHD ?

TC makes a clicking noise when activated. If lights are staying on after startup it could be lots of things. Accumulator shot, ABS pressure switch shot, ABS pump shot, maybe even something simple like air in the pipes or a leak somewhere.
 
When you start up first thing, let the accumulator get up to pressure, then see how many times you can fully depress the brake pedal before *edit - the whirring sound* kicks back in.

It is possible to get rid of the traction control altogether and just have the ABS if you swap the [edit] modulator and ABS ECU.

Think you may mean booster. The accumulator only stores pressure and is needed for both versions.

I meant modulator, not accumulator. How the hell did I mix those words up? Best edit original post...
 
Took it to Duval Limoges their HawkeyPro couldn't function so OBD knackerd, will need rewiring. Pushed speed sensors on each corner back in, problem cured,
it seems any bump and they can popup.

As I said, wheel bearings knackered. The swivels can be done at the same time. (Rotuls de Suspension)
