Pinpoint Test O: Traction Control System Cannot Be Disabled

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. O1 CHECK FOR COMMUNICATION DTCs 
    • Check for any ABS module communication DTCs.
    • Is DTC U0155:00 present? 
  2. O2 CHECK THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH STAB_CTRL_SW PID 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: IPC DataLogger.
    • Access the IPC PID STAB_CTRL_SW.
    • Monitor the PID STAB_CTRL_SW while pressing and releasing the traction control switch.
    • Does the PID STAB_CTRL_SW show the traction control switch changing from on to off? 
    • Yes  : The system is operating correctly at this time.
    • No  : GO to O3.
  3. O3 CHECK THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Stability/Traction Control Switch C2267.
    • Measure the resistance between the traction control switch pin 7, component side, and pin 1, component side while pressing and releasing the switch.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms with the switch released and less than 5 ohms with the switch pressed? 
    • Yes  : GO to O4.
    • No  : INSTALL a new hazard flasher lamp switch. REFER to EXTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM . TEST the system for normal operation.
  4. O4 CHECK STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between hazard flasher lamp switch C2267-7, circuit CCA15 (YE/GY), harness side and IPC C220-7, circuit CCA15 (YE/GY), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to O5.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit CCA15 (YE/GY) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. O5 CHECK STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between hazard flasher lamp switch C2267-7, circuit CCA15 (YE/GY), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to O6.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit CCA15 (YE/GY) for a short to ground. TEST the system for normal operation.
  6. O6 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
    • Measure the resistance between hazard flasher lamp switch C2267-1, circuit GD116 (BK/VT), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to O7.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit GD116 (BK/VT) for an open. TEST the system for normal operation.
  7. O7 CHECK THE IPC CONNECTOR 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Check IPC connector for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the IPC connector and make sure that it is seated correctly.
    • Make sure the connector is seated correctly then operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present?
