Circuit Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 GMC Yukon XL, 2004 GMC Yukon, 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2004 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The traction control switch is a momentary-contact, normally-open switch that can be used to disable the engine torque management function of the TCS. On two wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicles, the traction control switch is directly monitored by the EBCM. On four wheel drive vehicles equipped with selectable 4 LO, the traction control switch is monitored by the transfer case shift control module (TCSCM), which sends the traction control switch status information to the EBCM on the serial data link. Each time the traction control switch is pressed, the VSES and TCS enabled/disabled status changes. When TCS is disabled, the EBCM sends serial data messages to the IPC to turn ON the traction off indicator and display the stability system disabled message.
