Traction Control Switch

Unlike the standard anti-lock control system, the traction control system can be deactivated by the driver through the traction control switch. The switch is hardwired to the IC  and when pressed sends a ground signal to the IC  . The IC  then sends a message over the HS-CAN  bus indicating that the driver has requested that the system be deactivated and illuminates the sliding-car icon. After receiving this message, the ABS module and PCM will ignore any traction events until the driver presses the switch again or the ignition is cycled.

The AdvanceTrac® with RSC®  system cannot be disabled when a MyKey™-restricted key is in use that has the AdvanceTrac® always on feature configured to "on". If an attempt is made to disable the AdvanceTrac® system while a MyKey™-restricted key is in use, ADVTRAC ON MY KEY SETTING will display in the IC  message center.
