Stability/Traction Control Switch: Notes

The stability/traction control switch provides the driver with the ability to disable only the traction control feature. Anti-lock control, ESC and RSC® systems remain functional. The switch is hardwired to the ABS module. When the stability/traction control switch is pressed, a ground signal is sent to the ABS module. The ABS module then sends a message over the HS-CAN bus to the IC indicating that the driver has requested that the system be deactivated and the IC illuminates the stability/traction control OFF indicator (sliding-car icon). The ABS module and the PCM then ignores any traction events until the driver presses the switch again or until the ignition key is cycled.

The AdvanceTrac® 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 MYKEY SETTING displays in the IC message center.
