Another teething problem with the new Scorp!
The traction control light is constantly illuminated regardless of button position?
Any thoughts please?

Well does the TC work.? (easy test : wheelspinn on gravel...)
If its just the wiering to the bulb, or if its an indication that the TC is out of order... (Guess the last one.)

From the fault finding page:
Over uneven ground?
and TCS light on?
YES:
1. Turn engine off and restart - if light goes out and remains out No Fault
2: If light comes on again follow advice on ABS Faults
3. The TCS shares only the rear ABS sensors, so if the TCS light illuminates as well as the ABS check those sensors first.
So you could follow advice on ABS faults! But obviously if it was the sensor then the ABS light should be on as well. Something to do with wiring?
