What causes Traction Control / ESP Warning Light?
These are the faults we most often find behind this symptom on cars driven in Hyderabad's heat and stop-go traffic:
- Wheel speed sensor fault — same sensors as ABS, so ABS and TCS lights come on together

- Yaw/lateral G-sensor fault — stability system misreads vehicle motion
- Brake switch fault affecting stability control activation logic
- Steering wheel not centred after alignment — stability system confused

Frequently asked questions
Traction control light came on in Hyderabad after hitting a pothole — what happened?
A pothole impact can trigger the traction control / ESP light if: 1) The impact damaged a wheel speed sensor or its wiring, 2) The suspension movement confused the steering angle sensor, 3) The ABS tone ring (wheel speed ring) was damaged. All of these require the system to be scanned (₹1,000–₹2,000) to identify the specific fault code. Most commonly, a wheel speed sensor or its wiring harness is the culprit (₹1,500–₹5,000 to replace).
