Hello,

As the traction control light is on there will be fault codes stored in the ABS/ESP and possibly transmission control system.

I would suggest first conducting a CAN scan with a suitable diagnostic tool. Then post the fault codes on this site for further evaluation and possible repair solutions.

How to scan:
