Hi all,
Anyone close by me with software to clear my Traction Failure?

I had put disco 2 hubs on but the sensors threw up an ABS and traction Failure. I've reverted to the proper P38 hubs and the ABD failure has cleared but I'm left with the traction Failure.

Booked into Staffordshire 4x4 but that isn't till a week Tuesday

Help!

Not sure but I think it should clear itself if the fault is fixed. You need a Nanocom to see what is going on.

My local garage has an up to date snap on diagnostic tool and it has cleared all the faults in the memory. It shows "no faults" but the digital readout when turning on the ignition still says "traction failure" and my ABS and TC lights are on.

Snap on Diagnostics may not work reliably on the P38. Sounds like a sensor is not pushed fully home. Have you driven it?

Have you driven the car yet? Go for a lap around the block and see what happens. Might display Traction Failure when you turn the car off but on next start up it should be cleared.

I'm going through this at the moment, random traction abs lamps but 0 faults...
Beginning to think I've got corrosion on a plug somewhere as it just randomly comes and goes and under no particular circumstances

Can you view live data from the sensors with Nanocom?

Snap on doesn't work with the p38 you need to go old school

Anyone know anyone in Stoke on Trent area with this old school tech?

Snap on is OBD2 your P38 isn’t. Few might clear the fault but it won’t tell you how to stop it coming back on.
You need a nanocom with the correct unlock code, test book t4 or a faultmate. If it’s stuffed a Hawkeye might do at a push, maybe?

How many pedal presses before the pump runs?

I'm not that far away but don't have a nanocom anymore. Pretty sure the fault should self clear though
