as it says just revving , showing some customers my car, and on the dash saw what looked like the traction control sign flash up ..ie. triangle with car in it and 2 curved lines... was not in gear and did not hit traction control button .. any ideas why she would do this ???

If it's a LS2 with an E40 ECM, there is a patch available in efilive which fixes this bug. It did in mine anyway!

Well mines an auto so I had other things going on too, but the reflash with the patch cured them. Anyone with an efilive can do this for you but you'd have to buy a license for the reflash.
I don't know whether this can be done with a Tech 2 (Dealers gadget for fixing your ecm etc.) Somebody else might throw some light on this too.
The patch for the ecu operating system is for fixing an issue where traction control is permanently off when running no maf. I applied it when AutoVE tuning mine. So this isn't likely the issue.
If you haven't got check engine lights I'd not worry, It will probably fix itself. Think mine did this for while also.
Who needs TC anyway

If he was revving it hard the Maf could've maxed out, still could have been the problem then?If you haven't got check engine lights I'd not worry, It will probably fix itself. Think mine did this for while also.

Has the motor had a tune 007?
That would just through the fuelling off.
Somehow the frequency output from the maf could have exceeded the expected limits held in the tune. Changing these values is the main method for disabling the maf for running SD, and yes would cause the TC to disable without the patch.
There are also values for expected airflow at set RPM's etc. Could be that excessive revving at a standstill with no load may have tripped these values. Causing a similar effect.
All speculation though. Could try seeing if any codes were thrown.
If it was a one off don't worry about it.

just been mapped by the fish ..only rev to 3500 as was not fully warmed up .. and no error codes Has the motor had a tune 007?
