When the EBTCM is operating in the traction control mode, the EBTCM will command the instrument cluster to turn ON the TRACTION ACTIVE indicator. This will alert the driver that the traction control system is operating.
The following conditions may cause improper operation of the TRACTION ACTIVE indicator:
• | An open fuse |
• | An open bulb |
• | A malfunctioning EBTCM |
• | A malfunctioning instrument cluster |
