    As far as I am aware, if you hold the traction control button down for 5 seconds, the system defaults to ON mode, and cannot be shut off, until the car is turned off and back on
    If your button is somehow stuck, or not working... this would be happening.
    try unplugging the TC button, and see how you go

    my traction was stuck 'off' when i installed my CAI, turns out i didnt plug in the MAF plug properly, caused the error, so my question is, have you played under the bonnet recently?

    If the light keeps flashing "trac control off" its more likely a DTC (diagnostic trouble code) logged in the ABS/TC electronic control unit, it may pay to take it to a holden dealeship so they can plug their scan tool to correctly diagnose the fault.

    Na, this doesn't occur, the traction doesn't even register, the only time anything related to traction is displayed is when there is little traction then the computer tells me to slow down! I mite have a look at the switch, someone mentioned that... let everyone know for future...
