I have an Fabia Sedan comfort 2002 .

Today i found out that my car has Traction Control or it seems so.

 

After had my car battery plugged out and plugged in again in the first start and Traction Control indicator lights up and off but when cat starts again it foes show up with other indicators

 

So my question is that does my 1.4 8v MPI Fabia has traction control (there is no switch off) and if yes why its not lighting up like all other indicators and working right ?

 

My Fabia has ABS that works properly.

My 1.4 mpi 8 valve doesn't have traction control but it does have the traction control warning light which comes on and goes off every time the battery has been disconnected.

Yeah but why after battery disconnection shows up and in the first place why is in the dash an Traction Control indicator where the car as you said has no TC.

The cluster circuitry and warning light are there so it must be that disconnecting the battery causes the light to come on momentarily for some reason. If your car had traction control it would have an ASR button on the dash. It would also have the build code 1AR in the front of the service book and also on a copy of that sticker under the boot carpet.

 

 

As you can see, mine does not have the build code 1AR and I doubt yours does either...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The light comes on momentarily before the soft coding is read while the dash is booting up, once it reads the soft code which tells it there is no ASR it extinguishes the lamp.

Pretty sure I was told when I was ordering mine and going through the options, that rear drum brakes means no traction control. I don't know if that means it comes as std. with rear discs though?

I can't see why that should make a difference: ASR uses the ABS wheel speed sensors to detect wheel spin and cut fuel.

The brakes are involved as well. That's how it stops the wheel(s) spinning.

@TMB - OK, now explain how braking a rear wheel stops the fronts spinning!

Not the rears unless a 4WD or RWD car obviously.

OK, so why would rear drums stop you fitting ASR?

I don't know. I had a brain fart.

I haven't got a clue, I wasn't looking for it on my build  but am 99.9% certain I recall salesman saying that.

 

It's probably just a case of different ABS modules for different set-ups. Look here: https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/fabia/fab/2003-225/6/614-614030/

Three different part numbers for the module for cars with ESP  versus plain ABS  versus ASR/ABS/EDS
