Traction control in corners
Hello all,

Traction control keeps coming on in corners, when not going fast. It’s particularly worse when the cars sort of bouncing into the corner.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Had a look underneath and nothing seems unduly loose, or like there is excess wear in the prop

Cheers

What do mean by bouncing into corners? If its bouncing wheels coming off the ground or weight shifting significantly then tc will.come on. Cheers

I will check all the wheel bearings next, thankyou.
And I just meant lightly bouncing, nothing enough to need the traction control to activate.

The only thing I can think of causing bouncing at low speed would be something grabbing the transmission at times. Could be tc from senor issues, could be diff grabbing, handbrake although this would be evident regardless of steering input..

To be honest other than off road racing and poor shock setup I haven't heard of defenders bouncing into corners.

Does yours have dsc, is steering angle set correctly? Cheers
