Slip Light Comes On Even When Tcs Is Off! Help!

[R33Turbo]

Hey guys,

It's been a while since posting on this forum but I'm glad SAU is always there for you when there's a problem. As stated in the topic title, the SLIP light blinks occassionally (but not for very long) even with the TCS is off. I didn't think too much of it until one day my car just stalled on the highway whilst driving normally. I thought it might be either the spark plugs or the coil packs, but I want to be more certain with the help of your opinion on this. By the way, I did not feel any missfiring yet. To me, it sounds more like the coil packs because I didn't think the SLIP light would blink if it was the spark plugs. But I could be wrong as always...

Thanks in advanced guys!

Pretty sure this has been covered a 'few' times - the slip/tcs are known to flash when the coil packs are on their way out

I was just confused with theslip/tcs flashing threads that were posted previously. My TCS was turned off when the SLIP light flashed, however, TCS light was steady and not flashing with the other. So would this be a different case or is this circumstance exactly what the other threads were talking about but I just misunderstood?

I just didn't get any of those rough idling or misfiring so I thought maybe it might just be bad spark plugs (which would of been a cheaper fix than the coilpacks).
