My vehicle is 2011 vw jetta tdi. Automatic transmission. I was driving at an average speed of 10 km in the city. It was raining and the car, although slow, seemed to skid half a meter from somewhere, then the car's power faded. I shifted to P and the gear was locked in P and the P light flashed. The gear was locked and the slippery floor warning (ESP)light and tire pressure warning light came on on the screen. Then, with the help of the people around, I pressed the yellow button inside the gear, shifted the gear to the N position and parked it in a suitable place. 3.4 hours later, when I went to the control, I started the car. The warning lights were still on, but the gear was correct. He switched to D and went home. On the way, the warning lights on the screen went out on their own. When I got home I parked the car, then the same thing happened again. The warning lights came on again and the gear was locked. So I left. I checked again the next day. Everything was normal in the car, the light was not on, the gears were fine. I don't know if this is normal with these cars. Should I take it to the authorized service? Is it safe to use this way? Sorry it's a bit of a long post. Thank you very much in advance..

[@fruitygranulizer540]

get it checked in case. could be a faulty sensor.

Great! It also works on VW Tiguan 5N!!! Thank you very much. It saved me high costs at the car shop.

It works, but resets once the rear tires have rolled a couple of meters. Only really useful for the dyno

for what car? I think it stayed off when I went for a drive. I spun the tires pretty good on some sand and the TC didnt come on (I drive a 2016 jetta)

[@fruitygranulizer540]

@@RomanRoman-xi3dv for everyday driving you won't need to do anyhting. its simply a electronic control that cuts the engine power when the wheels lose grip. turning it off can help get out of places where you are stuck like in the snow since it allows the wheels to spin freely even if its not getitng enough grip. it also makes the car more fun to drive if you are experienced since it doesn't limit you from driving at the car's capability.

I pulled the yellow 20amp fuse from under the bonnet. No traction control for me. Woohoo. It's great in dirt too. You can feel one wheel lose traction until the other grabs and gets you out.

If the ESP light is on that means ESP deactivated, meaning it's off or not working. ESP is on at all times unless the light in the instrument panel is lit up. Think about it, if your check engine light comes on does that mean your engine running good? NO, it means somethings wrong or not working.
