TCS light is on/limp mode :-( Please help!

This morning I try to start the car, it won't start. I see the TCS light on. It won't go off.
Previous symptoms: While on cruise control, sometimes the light would come on, cruise control was disabled, car went into limp mode. Stopping the engine and restarting it would cure the problem. This would happen invariably in hot weather.
I 've understood from other posts that the usual culprit (especially with the above symptoms) is the TCS safety valve.
Is that the one on the false bulkhead, near the dipstick? Two pipes going there, one from the manifold and one from the throttle housing with a one way valve. the third port is not connected.
Can you tell me if the TCS light goes off if the key is in the ON position? I can't seem to remember.
Any suggestions would be welcome
Thanks in advance
Harry
