    Default First Vectra Problem - If I steer when not moving...

    I noticed my "traction control" light sometimes stays on in my 3.2 GSi and have now identified how to create the problem. If I steer while stationary the traction control light comes on and wont go out until car is restarted.

    The car drives fine but steering is heavier at low speeds than I remember.

    Anyone know what this issue is?

    Thanks Guys

    After more research its called the "ESP" light. Any suggestions as to why its coming on. The ESP switch on the dash doesn't turn the light out.

    Maybe a problem with the steering angle sensor?

    Yes turned out to be the angle sensor. Got it done at Malins in Bletchley Milton Keynes for under £300. Has been OK for a week now since the fix so hopefully thats got it sorted.
