Stability/Traction Control Indicator (Sliding Car Icon)

Status of the traction control and AdvanceTrac® systems is indicated by a stability/traction control indicator (sliding-car icon) and a stability/traction control "OFF" indicator (sliding-car "OFF" icon) located in the IC  (or message center, if equipped). When the driver disables the systems through the use of the stability/traction control switch, the stability/traction control sliding car "OFF" icon illuminates solidly. When one or more of the systems is currently active, the stability/traction control sliding car icon flashes, and when the system is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, the sliding-car icon illuminates in conjunction with the yellow ABS warning indicator. The yellow ABS indicator and the stability/traction control indicator (sliding car icon) remain illuminated on the next key cycle until the ABS module carries out the self-tests and confirms that the malfunction is resolved.

If the traction control system has been disabled through the traction control switch, the system re-activates when the driver presses the switch again or the ignition switch is cycled.
