Pinpoint Test Ax: The Stability-Traction Control (Sliding Car Icon) Indicator Or RTT (RECONFIGURABLE Telltale) Indicator Is Never Or Always On
- Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See Stability-Traction Control (Sliding Car Icon). REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .
If the stability-traction control indicator request is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the stability-traction control (sliding car 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 stability-traction control indicator request for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC defaults the stability-traction control (sliding car icon) indicator on.

- AX1 IDENTIFY THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) LEVEL
- Determine if the vehicle is equipped with a 4-inch display IPC. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview .
Is the vehicle equipped with a 4-inch display IPC?
Yes GO to AX3 No GO to AX2 - AX2 CHECK THE MESSAGE CENTER OPERATION
- Ignition ON.
- Close all doors and hood.
- Clear all message center warnings by pressing the OK button for each warning present.
- Monitor the door ajar RTT warning indicator.
- Open the driver door.
- Clear the message center popup warning.
- Monitor the door ajar RTT warning indicator.
Is the door ajar RTT warning indicator off with the door closed, and on with the door open?
Yes GO to AX4 No GO to Pinpoint Test A - AX3 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) INDICATOR LAMP CONTROL ACTIVE COMMAND
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, view the IPC Parameter Identifications (PIDs).
- Access the IPC and control the ALL_LAMPSPID
- Command all lamps on and off while observing the stability-traction control (sliding car icon) indicator.
Does the stability-traction control (sliding car icon) indicator illuminate when commanded on and turn off when commanded off?
Yes GO to AX4 No GO to AX6 - AX4 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) SELF-TEST
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?
Yes REFER to the IPCDTC Chart. No GO to AX5 - AX5 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 If the stability-traction control (sliding car icon) indicator is never on, the system is operating correctly. If the stability-traction control (sliding car icon) indicator is always on, DIAGNOSE all ABS module Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). REFER to the Master DTC Chart. - AX6 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.
