Everytime I turn Traction Control on I get the engine oil light coming on? is this normal? or has it been set up to activate the wrong light? or does it not allow it on if it is low on oil? any assistance for a new owner!!!! Thanks

nope and I don't even know what the light looks like, but the only light that does come on is the oil can with a line underneath, apparently in the manual means warning

I'm wondering if the complier has done a bit of a dodgy to stop the TRC light from coming on all the time, or flashing etc to get it to pass rego?

Who did the compliance?

If you have time, pull the TRC fuse and take it for a quick drive, then tell me which light comes on.

Yeah under the bonnet mate (mines out permanently Smile )

By the way, the Traction Control is on all the time, that switch is to turn it off.

Try to do a quick burnout, you'll know if it's working or not Very Happy

so if remove the fuse, does that mean the switch will no longer work and TRC is off all the time? or how can I make the switch work?

Yes Traction control will be off all the time if you remove the fuse, that's why mine is out Very Happy

As for making the switch work, you'd have to take a peak behind the dash to see if anything is out of the ordinary.

If you can get it over the pits like it is, then just bring it to a tech day and I'll have a look over it for ya Smile

Plus the traction control is always on, you can only switch it off. So do you meant that when you start the car the check engine light comes on, and goes off when you switch off the traction control?

The colour only represents the amperage of the fuse. It's the one labeled TRC on the list under the cover

That sounds like the normal operation of the trac control. however its just operating the wrong light.
You will need to go have a look behind your dash mate.
