TCS diagnosis: Diodes?

Finally TCS issues. The left hand TCS light started coming on last night when the throttle was cracked, that is, when you let off fullly on the throttle and then step on it a little bit it would come on brightly. I replaced all vacuum lines within the last two years with the set from SAAB savior and a quick check shows nothing obviously leaking. It behaved the same way this AM, but after about 30 miles of driving it is now just a dim TCS glow with no real connection to the throttle/vacuum condition.
When I turn the key to the run position the ANTI-LOCK lamp comes on for two seconds, TCS CTRL comes on briefly, off, then on briefly and off again before ANTI-LOCK goes out. When I turn the key to crank ANTI-LOCK comes on but TCS CTRL does not.
Diodes? The glow sure looks "analog" to me.
Cruise control and shifting are fine, it's obviously not going into limp-home mode. If it's the diodes I'll replace all of them, who sells a set?
Thanks -
Peter
