after installing my aftermarket steering wheel...
Hey all,
I just installed a personal steering wheel.. and I did not do the airbag light trick.(this probably has nothing to do with it)
Problem..
after starting the car.. put in first gear and go forward for a few sec (does not matter how fast) i feel the traction control turn on for about a second or so.. then next thing is vdc off light is on..+ SLIP light turns on..
so then i tried starting the car.. turning off vdc first. .then drive.. after a few seconds.. the SLIP light turns on... but at least the traction control didnt kick in and slow the car down.
I actually like the fact that now my traction control is FULLY off and i still have ABS..(when u pull out traction control fuse..abs will be de-activated as well)..i just love it.. but I just want to know what happened? Why is it doing this?
Thanks
NICK

You moved the sensor.

Thanks guys..
where is the vdc sensor?is it that nipple thing that sticks out when u remove the OEM steering wheel?
and how do u hook up that air bag trick? there is orange and yellow wire for airbag.. my momo hub came with a airbag trick(+2amp fuse at the end.)... do i need 2 of these and plug it into both yellow and orange airbag wires?
