lomoto Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Just got my Z out today as it was really dry and sunny, gone a couple of miles and booted it round a large roundabout (stiil got the horrible bridgestones on) sure enough the old girl went completely sideways,Only thing was when I corrected it it went the other way even worse .. When I regained composure ..all the traction control lights were on ,Slip light as well also rev counter had packed up along with temp gauge !!! Drove on , car ran OK ,no probs there just the slip and traction warning lights permanantly on along with none functioning temp guage and tacho ., Drove to a layby and switched on and off a couple of times and everything was normal again Gave the old girl a good caning all the way home with no further probs... Whats that all about then ? ,anyone had a similar gremlin in the works ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I haven't experienced that, mind you I haven't got it sideways yet. You are certainly a braver man than I ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 IIRC it can stay on and the remedy is as you've done stop and turn on/off. Nowt to worry about except for those hedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 If you completely overcook it ( as I did on a driver instruction day with RideDrive at an airfield ) and all the warning lights light up, then only way to clear them is to switch off and back on. Not sure whether all the electric aids are still working if you don't do this Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 yeah it happens when you really "confuse" the vdc system in extreme situations... happened to me too a couple of times. Switch off and it resets itself back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
