1997 BMW 328i Traction control - BMW Forum

Hi I bought a 97 bmw 328i about a month ago, and the traction control light does not come on at startup nor go away, nor does pressing the ASC+T button make the light come on or off, the abs light comes on at startup and goes away like normal, does anyone know if theres a problem, or maybe just a dash bulb burned out, cause abs works fine. thanks

maybe set the wheel in water or a slippery surface and give it gas and if the tire keeps spinning traction control is not working....

well if it's not coming on at start up, probably dash bulb

Alright thanks. I'll with the tire in water and see about that, since its been raining here like crazy, if its fine then i will just replace the bulb or not worry about it. thanks guys

I also think that it is just the bulb.
