Default Traction control warning

While driving home yesterday, I got a message that said something about servicing the traction control soon. It kept blinking until I got home, turned the car off, waited a few seconds, started it back up, and no message. Is this something I need to be concerned with? All I did was stop at a stop sign, then proceed normally. No tire spin, no quick start or turn, just very normal driving. It has never happened before.

I just had that happen to me. Since I bought the extended warranty, I took it to the dealer. They swapped out the EBCU unit and things work again. They said that I my warranty just paid for itself with visit. The EBCU cost over $1,200 form the factory.

I have read that there are some things that you can check before resorting to getting a new EBCU.

Like topping off the Brake fluid, checking the grounds and sensor connections. You may just have a faulty sensor that is confusing the computer. Do a search.
