PINPOINT TEST W: THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY ASSIST INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON


W1-W4:






Normal Operation
The traction control/stability assist indicator flashes when the vehicle traction control or stability assist system is in active mode or is being controlled by the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module. The instrument cluster receives the traction control/stability assist signal from the ABS module through the communication network. The instrument cluster monitors the traction control/stability assist signal and, when the ABS module detects a concern, the instrument cluster illuminates the traction control/stability assist indicator.

Possible Causes
- ABS module
- Instrument cluster
