Abs & Traction Control - E36 318Is

E36-Steve
in BMW 3 Series Forum

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

I have an intermittent fault with my E36 at the moment, every now and then the ABS light and traction control light come and and I cannot turn the traction control back on.

Sometimes it will do it for a couple of days and other times it will stop as soon as I turn the car on and off.

Can anyone help or know what might be causing this?

Thanks guys.

    Cheers Jack, I'm looking at getting some new discs and pads all round anyway so I'll see if that sorts it.

    Anyone got any suggestion on a good make/brand or should I just stick with original?

    Snypd-D, to be honest it doesn't bother me that much either because I have traction off 90% of the time anyway lol, but it's one of those things that I would like to know what the problem is if that makes sense lol.
