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

  1. 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 or RTT 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 or RTT 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.
