Default Strange traction control problem

I always put my car in competition mode when driving around. It is the first thing I do after I start on my way. I just like the way it allows me to get on it without cutting power. Tonight I went out for a ride and on the way home all of a sudden traction control was turning on and off on its own. I thought maybe something was going wrong with a wheel sensor or something . Then I realized it was just one of my driving buddies.

She was standing on the button.

Maybe if you didn't have so many mods the dog wouldn't be scared and attempting to turn on full active handling. Mods ruin everything

The dogs are the only ones that never get tired of going for a ride to nowhere I take it easy on them, only straight line acceleration and remember I have an auto so I always have a free hand to brace them.

They love it, I just keep waiting for something else to break, so every time a light comes on I panic


Not complaining it is an old car and I drive it hard, but everything that is talked about on this forum comes true about these cars. I should make a list so I know what will be next right now it’s only the gas gauge.

Great story. The dog was just messing with your mind - maybe asking for more frequent rides.
