Stability-Traction Control Disabled Indicator (Sliding Car OFF Icon)

The stability-traction control is configured on/off through the message center on the base Focus. On the Focus ST, the stability-traction control is configured on/off through a separate hardwired switch to the ABS module. When the driver enables or disables the stability-traction control system, the ABS module sends the stability/traction control disabled indicator request message to the BCM. The BCM sends the stability/traction control disabled indicator request message to the IPC to illuminate or turn off the stability-traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) based upon the system state.

When a MyKey® administrator has set the AdvanceTrac® On feature to always on and a MyKey® programmed key is in use, the stability-traction control system cannot be disabled. The menu selection in the message center used to disable the stability-traction control system does not display when a MyKey® is in use but remains active for the MyKey® administrator to select the AdvanceTrac always on feature off. The stability-traction control indicator still functions normally to indicate a stability-traction control system fault and a stability-traction control active event.
