Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford EcoSport and 2019 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The traction control switch is part of the steering column multifunction switch and is used to turn the traction control system on or off. When the driver presses the traction control switch, the ABS module receives a ground signal from the switch. The ABS module responds by sending a message to the instrument cluster to illuminate the stability-traction control OFF indicator. The ABS module continues to monitor for excessive wheel spin, but takes no action when detected.

NOTE: If equipped, MyKey allows users to configure traction control to be either always on or selectable. If a MyKey restricted key is in use with the MyKey traction control feature configured to always on, traction control cannot be disabled. An admin key must be used to enable and disable traction control.

NOTE: This test requires the use of at least 2 ignition keys (passive or IKT) programmed to the vehicle; one admin ignition key and one restricted ignition key.
