Normal Operation And Fault Conditions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2021 Lincoln Corsair, 2021 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2021 Ford Transit-350, 2021 Ford Transit-250, and 2021 Ford Transit-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The stability-traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) in the IPC provides traction control system status to the driver. When the driver deactivates the traction control, the IPC sends a message to the GWM over the HS-CAN 3 indicating the driver has requested the traction control to be disabled. The GWM relays this message to the ABS module over the HS-CAN 2. The ABS module continues to monitor for excessive wheel spin, but no longer takes any action when a traction event is detected. 

After receiving the traction control status message from the IPC, the ABS module then sends a message to the GWM over the HS-CAN 2 to illuminate the stability-traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon). The GWM relays this message to the IPC over the HS-CAN 3. 

The IPC responds by illuminating the stability-traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon). The traction control system remains deactivated until the driver changes the traction control state in the message center or until the ignition is cycled.
