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

The stability-traction control is configured on/off through the message center. When the stability-traction control is configured on or off, the IPC  sends a message to the ABS module indicating the stability-traction control system has been enabled or disabled by the driver. The ABS module either enables or disables the stability-traction control system, and sends a traction control disabled (OFF) indicator request back to the IPC  to illuminate or turn off the stability-traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) based upon the system state. The stability/traction control system defaults back on or enabled once the ignition is cycled off then back on again.

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 stability-traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) does not illuminate when the traction control is disabled. The stability-traction control indicator still functions normally to indicate a stability-traction control system fault and a stability-traction control active event.
