Circuit Description
The instrument cluster controls the operation of the TRACTION CONTROL indicator. The EBCM reports the desired status of the TRACTION CONTROL indicator via class 2 serial data messages.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
Use the scan tool in order to verify the normal state of the Traction Control indicator control.
-
Ensures that the instrument cluster can operate the Traction Control indicator.
