Default Isf traction control light stay lit

Any idea why my traction control light stays on? just installed sikky headers. The light will not turn off no matter how long i hold the traction button. Could it be a sensor? No VSC or CEL only traction control light

Are you sure the prior owner (if there was one) didnt disable CEL?

I'm the original owner, when i first installed the headers i got cel vsc and traction light. it was the a/f sensor . I replaced the sensor and all lights turned off. I purchased new tires and got them installed. 20 miles later the traction light turns on and wont go away.

Hook up a scanner and see if there is a code. Your first problem (VSC, Traction and CEL) is pretty common when installing headers, but I don't remember anybody having the traction control light only. What size tires did you go with?

I agree thats why I mentioned the (somewhat shady) possibility that someone disabled CEL. Dealer or cheap ebay scanner should tell you.

Changing subjects: Where in FL are you? Looking for other ISF owners. Haven't seen a single one in JAX since I bought mine. I know there's a few others around but would love to hear an aftermarket i/h/e setup before I begin modding.

Are your wheel sensors damaged at all?

I'm near Jax (clay county) and work in Jax. I have spotted one other USB ISF 2x. But no others.
