Traction Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The traction control indicator flashes when the vehicle traction control is in active mode or is being controlled by the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module. The instrument cluster receives the traction control signal from the ABS module through the communication network. The instrument cluster monitors the traction control signal, and when the ABS module detects a traction control concern, the instrument cluster illuminates the traction control indicator.
