Reduced Power

The reduced power telltale is turned ON by the cluster when it receives a command from the body control module (BCM). The engine control module (ECM) sends a message to the BCM over the CAN serial data link.

The reduced power telltale is illuminated when the ECM is limiting engine torque in a low traction situation.

The reduced power telltale is turned ON by the cluster for 2-3 seconds, when the ignition is turned to RUN, for a visual system check.
