Gts-4 Slip Light

[Fryday13]

Just recently bought an 1995 GTS-4 which is going well except the slip light likes to come on from time to time even whilst going straight and try to pull the car left. I dont mean to sound ignorant but what's going on and how can i fix it. its a bloody pain Am i able to disengage it or fix it?

Its AWD, the slip light means its enabling FWD because it thinks the rear is losing traction. The pull to the left could be torque steer?

Check the yuor front/rear and side to side tyres are the same dimensions and your wheels are aligned correctly.

Hey cheers checking the tyres, but what confused me the most is that the light will come on and it'll steer to the left even at 50k when im not speeding or accelerating just driving normally?

Put it in neutral and see if the light is still on. If it is then the light is not working properly. Sounds like you may need a wheel alignment.

Cheers I put it in neutral and it will sometimes go away but not all the time? ive been hoping on the DIY method but I have a feeling im not going to get very far and should just get it checked well in a garage to save it!

If there was a problem the ECU in the boot will flash a red L.E.D when a fault is found, check in the boot under the rear parcel shelf. The thing is the slip light is not a warning light for a fault and the 4WD light is your warning light for the system. If it is it will flash a series of slow 1 second flashes, pause for 2 seconds then followed by a series of fast 0.5 second L.E.D flashes.

E.G. 1..1..1..1..1..1..1 .... 1.1.1.1.1.1 76 means Throttle Position Sensor fault.

Because its the slip light it wont bring a fault up. I think it may just come down to a wheel alignment and balance, It is a very sensitive system and something like uneven tyre pressures can cause the slip light to come on.

Well my front diff has recently blown itself, after some heartbreaking talks to the mechanic it will live and it looks like the new diff may also solve the problem aswell meaning that it was the diff that had been playing up to make the weird sound? haven't yet got it back so i can't prove the theory but would be nice to know I could fix the too problems in one. I may have stumbled upon the answer to this ridiculous slip light problem
