Stability/Traction Control Switch

The stability/traction control switch is hard wired to the instrument cluster module. The instrument cluster module communicates the stability/traction control switch status to the ABS module via the HS-CAN bus.

The stability/traction control switch allows the driver to control use of the stability control/traction assist system. This is independent of the ABS function, which cannot be switched OFF by the driver. The stability control/traction assist system status is indicated by a light in the stability/traction control switch. When the stability/traction control switch is set to OFF, the system is disabled below 60 km/h (37 mph). The system will automatically restore to full functionality every time the vehicle speed exceeds 70 km/h (43 mph) or when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position and back to the ON position. However, the stability/traction control switch OFF indicator remains illuminated until the switch is pressed. The anti-lock brake function continues to work as designed unless the yellow anti-lock brake warning indicator is also illuminated. Normal braking function always occurs, unless the red brake warning indicator is illuminated.
