Not sure what happened?!?!

omax2008 · 11-06-2011, 02:12 PM

I have BMS stage II as my only engine mod. I was in second gear and opened up the throttle about three quarters. The car hesitated bigtime and for a split second I saw a yellow light on dash. I always use 93 octane.

It only happened once but I'm concerned. Any thoughts???

Thanks

Traction control kicking in due to an oily/icy spot on the road?

omax2008 · 11-06-2011, 03:18 PM

Duh! That could be it...Although I didn't feel like I was losing grip.

I hope the explanation is as simple as that.

Thanks much

That happens to me ALL the time! its traction control, i always have to switch it off when im about to floor the car, or that happens. hahaha.

Has anyone had this happen to them without it being traction control engaging?

Abyone have a check engine light go off?

Its your traction control if it blips a yellow light. If you think it may be more or get a check engine light it never hurts to check your codes either through the dash menu 1 option 2 Or connect your laptop to the USB..

Probably traction but since you have stage2 just hookup the USB and read the ECU for any codes.
