    Traction light is on.

    Im a new owner of a 2000 Bmw 328i and out of no where the traction light went on and I couldn't go pass 50mph. I contacted the owner and he said when he removed the original stereo his sensors were acting up on him. He also changed the rims and removed the original ones. I tried pressing the DSC button but its not working, its supposed to but i think its the radio or the tires that are messing with the traction light.

    The traction control light comes on when the abs computer sees different wheel speeds. It could be something as simple as a bad wheel speed sensor. You need to get the right software to diagnose issues in the car. Check out the diagnostic software section. Thanks
