MyKey® Interaction

Through the MyKey® feature, the traction control function of the stability control system can be configured to be always on or to allow the driver to select the traction control function on or off. The IPC  sends a MyKey® status message to the ABS  module over the HS-CAN  .

On vehicles equipped with a 1.6L Gas Turbo Direct Injection (GTDI) engine, when the traction control function is configured to be always on and a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the ABS  module ignores any requests made by the driver to disable the traction control and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) functions.

On all other vehicles, when the traction control function is configured to be always on and a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the IPC  ignores any requests made by the driver to disable the traction control function and does not send any traction control disable messages to the ABS  module. Refer to the Owner's Literature for additional information on the MyKey® feature and settings.
