Pinpoint Test Q : The Traction Control Disabled Indicator (Sliding Car Off Icon) Is Never Or Always On: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

See Traction Control Disabled Indicator (Sliding Car OFF Icon). Refer to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .

If the traction control mode indicator request is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) to the last indication state (on or off), based upon the last message received.

If the IPC does not receive the traction control disabled indicator request for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) off.

When a MyKey® programmed key is in use and the AdvanceTrac® on feature is configured always on, the traction control system cannot be disabled and the traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) does not turn on when the traction control disable button is pressed. The stability-traction control indicator still functions correctly to indicate a traction control system fault and a traction control active event.
