Traction control light come on when you turn?

I have been chasing my traction control light around for months checking bearings, wiring, sensors, abs module.......etc
So I called the company that I bought my abs module off and the first thing he said was to check the stater ring on the axle to see if it has a small crack. So I took the abs sensor out of the hub of the front wheel and turned the axle so I could check each tooth for a crack and sure enough the ring had completely broke and was hitting the sensor, so I replaced the whole axle and there you have it. Problem solved! I hope this saves anyone the stress of chasing this down.

My abs module would click when I turned so it was coming on and off trying to work but there was no wheel spin.

cheers

Thanks Dempsy. I'll put this in the Repair Database so its more available than otherwise.

This is one I've never read about!
