Vehicle Dynamics Caution (VDC) Indicator
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac DTS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Yaw rate is the rate of rotation about the vehicle's vertical axis. The VSES is activated when the EBCM determines that the desired yaw rate does not match the actual yaw rate as measured by the yaw rate sensor.
- A traction control or stability control (JL4) event is happening.
- The electronic brake control module (EBCM) inhibits the traction control system due to a malfunction in the traction control system or in the stability control system (JL4). The IPC receives a serial data message from the EBCM requesting illumination.
- The body control module (BCM) detects that the traction control switch has been pressed (signal circuit is low). The BCM sends a serial data message to the EBCM in order to disable traction control. The IPC receives a serial data message from the EBCM requesting illumination. The BCM sends a serial data message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
