Pinpoint Test As: The Stability-Traction Control Disabled (Sliding Car Off Icon) Indicator Is Never Or Always On

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See Stability-Traction Control Disabled (Sliding Car OFF Icon). REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .

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

If the IPC does not receive the traction control off indicator request for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the stability-traction control disabled (sliding car OFF icon) indicator 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 indicator does not turn on when the traction control disable button is pressed. The traction control indicator still functions correctly to indicate a traction control system fault and a traction control active event.

AS1 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) INDICATOR LAMP CONTROL ACTIVE COMMAND
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the IPC Parameter Identifications (PIDs).
- Access the IPC and control the STAB_TC_LMPPID
- Command the stability-traction control disabled (sliding car OFF icon) indicator on and off while observing the indicator.
Does the stability-traction control disabled (sliding car OFF icon) indicator illuminate when commanded on and turn off when commanded off?

Yes GO to AS2

No GO to AS6

AS2 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart .

No GO to AS3

AS3 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network .

No GO to AS4

AS4 CHECK FOR THE KEY TYPE

Check if the key is a MyKey® programmed key or an administrator key. Refer to the Owner's Literature.

Is the key an administrator key?

Yes

GO to AS5

No	DIAGNOSE the stability-traction control system cannot be disabled. REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control .

AS5 CHECK FOR THE ADVANCETRAC ON FEATURE CONFIGURED ALWAYS ON

Check if the AdvanceTrac feature is configured always on. Refer to the Owner's Literature.

Is the AdvanceTrac feature configured always on?

Yes	The traction control system cannot be disabled when the AdvanceTrac on feature is configured always on.

No	DIAGNOSE the stability-traction control system cannot be disabled. REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control .

AS6 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect the IPC connector.

Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the IPC connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.

Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) .

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
