Traction Control Switch: Notes

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 "OFF" icon. After receiving this message, the ABS module and the PCM 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 displays in the IC  message center. For information about MyKey™, refer to ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) .
