Aston V8V DSC service/Traction Control Temporary Disabled
Discussion
I had this problem on my 2007 V8 Vantage but resolved it by analysing the fault with a Foxwell NT520 equipped with the Aston software.
However, the reported error code of P0130 pointed to a faulty O2 sensor which I duly replaced.
The fault stayed and was still reported as P0130 but this time accompanied by the additional information that it was a pressure sensor - no voltage error.
Replacing the pressure sensor on the brake servo solved the problem but I thought I would share the information so that it may help others to understand that the error code may not be correct and that you should go by your instinct when considering the accompanying text with any error code.
Incidentally I found that the error code reported was the same when using another proprietary code reader.

It's possible you had old codes still stored. I had the same error message displayed on my dashboard and using the same Foxwell OBD reader, cleared all the error codes that showed when plugged in. Only one remained, which was P0010 Front left wheel speed sensor, which turned out to be the culprit. All the othercodes, which included P0130 too, did not reappear on the reader. The error message is unlikely to be an oxygen sensor.
Old thread but want to remark something, sometimes this happens when car has been sitting outside in cold winter nights, the same error appears, you have to drive and warm up everything, then you can stop and restart after a few seconds, error gone, probably one of those sensors gets iced and the ECU doesn't try reading again from them unless you restart the car.
