When DTC is in effect, the following action occur:
- EBCM disables traction control and vehicle stability control until DTC becomes a history DTC.
- Brake warning indicator is illuminated.
- Traction control and active handling indicators illuminate.
- Driver Information Center (DIC) displays LOW BRAKE FLUID, SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM and SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING messages.
