From the handbook

Quote
Lit during driving:
Fault in TC system. Vehicle can continue to be
driven. Driving stability may be worse if
driving style is not adapted, depending on
acceleration and type of road surface
because of drive wheel spinning.
To have the fault rectified, consult a Vauxhall
Dealership. The system's integral selfdiagnosis
facility allows faults to be quickly
remedied.

I'm guessing a chat with a tech2 is needed here

mmmmm .. You are a fair way from Brackley or Nottingham  which is where the resident experts with tech2's are ... t'other one is in Hampshire ... so unless you happen to be heading in any of those directions in the near future .... looks like dealer money .. :(

Wouldn't an ABS sensor fault bring the ABS warning light up first?

The abs sensors just detect wheel rotation and send the signals to various ECU's .... ABS, TC, Speedo, Steering etc etc ...

TC operation is simply detected by one wheel rotating faster than the other .. wheel spin ...  so I'm just wondering if a quick look at the detectors might save a visit to a dealers .... probably won't ... but might .. :)
