Car was on C-tek over winter but I took it off for charging the 996 and forgot to put it back on the 997. One month later realised the battery was completely dead. Got it back up to charge again and started her up the yesterday and had this TC light. Light was never there before. Could this be caused by the battery going flat (I hear funny stories about Porsches playing up after batteries going t1t5)? Could it be speed related i.e drive over the ABS cut-out speed (10km/h or so for most cars) and it may sense the system is functioning correctly and re-set itself? Or is this a diagnostics port read-out/re-set type affair? I have no doubt the system is functioning correctly and guess the battery going flat is the cause as the car hasn't been driven since last year when there was no TC light

Have had the issue on my RS after storage. Drive it for a few miles and it will go away in my experience.
