Seen a similar thing in a madza, it was something like the traction controll but its called something else, it changes the power going to each wheel...

the way u described the light is the same as in the madza but i dont think VT*'s got anything like that :s never heard of it.

I'd never seen it before as obviously there is no traction control system.

That light is the abs, so maybe you've got an issue with one of the sensors after slamming the brakes on.

Has it gone off for good now?

chances are its a faulty sensor and the car has only realised because you had to brake hard
