Pinpoint Test P : The Traction Control System Cannot Be Disabled - Vehicles Equipped With A 1.6L GTDI Engine

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.

P1 VERIFY THAT THE KEY IN USE IS NOT RESTRICTED

For vehicles equipped with Intelligent Access (IA),
- place 1 Intelligent Access (IA) key inside the vehicle and all other Intelligent Access (IA) keys at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from the vehicle.
- press the start/stop button without pressing the brake pedal.

For vehicles without Intelligent Access (IA), turn the ignition to the ON position.

Monitor the message center.

Does the message center display MYKEY ACTIVE DRIVE SAFELY?

Yes

The current Intelligent Access (IA) key or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) is a restricted key and is functioning correctly.REPEAT the test using different Intelligent Access (IA) keys or Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs) until the message center does not display MYKEY ACTIVE DRIVE SAFELY.GO to P2

P2 VERIFY THE MYKEY ® TRACTION CONTROL SETTING
- Using the message center, verify the MyKey ® traction control setting configuration. Refer to the Owner's Literature for information on configuring the MyKey ® functions.
Is the MyKey ® traction control setting configured to always on?

Yes GO to P3

P3 VERIFY TRACTION CONTROL FUNCTION CAN BE DISABLED USING THE ADMIN INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) KEY OR INTEGRATED KEYHEAD TRANSMITTER (IKT)

With the admin Intelligent Access (IA) key or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) in the vehicle or ignition, press the stability / traction control switch for 5 seconds.

Does the sliding car OFF icon illuminate and does the message center display ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL OFF?

Yes

The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by the use of a restricted Intelligent Access (IA) key or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) with the MyKey ® traction control setting configured to always on.INFORM the customer that traction control can only be disabled using an admin Intelligent Access (IA) key or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) when the MyKey ® traction control setting is configured to always on.
