Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Traction Control
The traction control indicator flashes when the traction control is in active mode and is being controlled by the ABS module or the all wheel drive control module. The instrument cluster receives the traction control signal from the ABS module or the differential electronic module (DEM) (all wheel drive control module) through the communication network. The instrument cluster monitors the traction control and the all wheel drive signal, and when the ABS module or the all wheel drive module detects a concern, the instrument cluster illuminates the traction control indicator.
