The message center displays the stability system disabled message when one or more of the following conditions exists.

  • The transfer case is shifted into 4 LO. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
  • The driver manually disables the VSES and engine torque reduction by pressing the traction control switch. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting illumination.
  • The estimated temperature of any solenoid coil exceeds an acceptable limit. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display.
  • The EBCM detects a failed brake switch. The EBCM sends a serial data message to the IPC requesting this display. A DTC sets when this condition exists.
