TC light comes on when driving,especially when changing gear

Hi all

My TC light comes on occasionally when changing gear and an odd sound comes from somewhere, I can't quite work out where the noise is coming from, there is no ice/snow and its even coming on when driving in a straight line. Is this a serious problem, or something easily fixed? It seems to be getting worse, i.e. its happening more every week.

Thanks

Had a similar issue on my works 57 110. Fortunately the garage managed to sort it by changing the brake fluid and it hasn't come on randomly since. They said that the abs modulator have a habit of playing up. 1999 300TDI 110 CSW BMW 3.0

Mine does this when you turn hard left on cold mornings & sounds like the front drivers calliper coming on or a noise like AH AH AH

Maybe its time for a brake fluid change as I do need to change my rear pads

A worn wheel bearing can sometimes cause this to happen. Darren

Try pushing the front ABS sensors in slightly
