Recently I replaced the four swivel pins as one 'boot' was damaged! This morning, the 25th of April 2025, I set off to replace four eight year old but very tired tyres and the Traction control cut in and made driving very difficult. I limped the 100m back home and plugged my 'NanoCom' in. No faults found and all sensors seemed to be working correctly.

Two questions:-
My Nanocom skills are very poor; have I missed something?

Is there anybody out there with any experience of this type of fault?

I worked for Land Rover for 40+ years in the electrical development department but focused on harnesses therefore I was most careful with the ABS Sensor leads and connectors, but...
 
No problem with nanocom. I've seen this not once. You might have disturbed something there when you replaced the pins. As long as the TC kicks in there is no fault present but it's a missballance between the wheel speed signals and the ECU "thinks" a wheel is slipping so activates the TC accordingly... did you change one of the hubs or ABS sensors too by aby chance?

BTW... are all the new tyres the same type/dimensions and inflated to the correct pressures? Untill you figure it out remove the ABS pump relay, the 3 amigos will come on and it will be normally driveable
