TRACS/ABS: - TC warning light flashing / loss of power

xc90paddy · Jun 11th, 2014, 09:14

About a week ago I had the 2 front tyres changed. All Since then I've noticed a loss of power when turning hard right, say when going round a roundabout. The loss of power coincides with the traction control light flashing on the dash. This only happens when turning right

I've done some searching for previous posts but struggling to come up with a definitive answer. All four tyres are the same make, size etc.

Any suggestions

Thx in advance

Sounds like the wire to one of the front ABS sensors, the sensor itself or the reluctor ring that the sensor detects. If the tracs system gets a garbled signal, it'll think there's a loss of traction to (probably) the other wheel and dip the throttle.

as martin said, sounds like somethings got caught or knocked when the tyre was changed.

Thx for replies so far. I've assumed its the ABS ring and have bought 2 new ones. Is the a 'how to' for changing an BS ring.

Thx

Knock the old one off, clean the area, heat the new one up with a torch and drop it on. That's the usual way of doing it.

I wish it was turning out to be that simple. It's the passenger side ring that's broken. The outer CV joint is stuck in the hub assembly, whole things is rusted to s**t. No matter what I or a local mechanic try it won't separate so now looks like I'm needing a new hub assembly and outer CV joint.

Any suggestions where is best to get these on-line?
