Default Traction Control Issue

Evening fellas,

I drove my Fairlane back home on a permit after extensive suspension & steering work this afternoon, and came across something interesting.

I travelled probably about 50m in suburban style traffic & my traction control kept trying to kick in despite absolutely no reason to suggest it was needed. It persisted until I simply turned it off for the trip home on the highway.

I then briefly turned it back when I got to my street & nothing happened. So im a bit puzzled. Any thoughts?

ABS sensor fault would be first on the list. the traction control is tied in with the ABS module

The funny thing is though, is that the ABS light never came on. Nor did I have the typical ABS grind. It was solely on acceleration, stopped or rolling.
