Beau Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Hey guys, As your aware I have 2 lights coming up. The slip light and traction control light. After reading the manual, throttle control problems could be one issue. I have heard that the throttle body can get dirty and this then needs cleaning. Has anyone done this? Quote
Zugara Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Done plenty of times on here mate, use some solvent cleaner and a paint brush to clean it, dont move the valve plate tho Searchy is your friend Quote

I have read I will need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery first though. Quote
doctor austin Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Cant see what the throttle body has to do with traction control and slip lights...... but no harm in cleaning it I guess!!! dont expect it to have any effect on your dash lights though Quote

Darren-B Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Before you start taking the throttle body off, just check your brake fluid level, if your pads are worn the fluid level drops & trips the sensor in the fluid tank making the lights come up on the dash, disabling traction control & ABS Quote

Have you tried the throttle reset? Quote

Have you tried the throttle reset? No, I have not. What is it? And I did add more braked fluid when I thought it was low previously.... Quote
