Circuit Description
The LOW TRAC Indicator is controlled by the EBTCM. The LOW TRAC Indicator is activated during a traction control event only. When the EBTCM detects a low traction condition it supplies a ground for CKT 1656 turning on the LOW TRAC Indicator.
Diagnostic Aids
| • | It is very important that a thorough inspection of the wiring and connectors be performed. Failure to carefully and fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction. |
| • | Thoroughly inspect any circuitry that may be causing the complaint for the following conditions: |
| - | Backed out terminals |
| - | Improper mating |
| - | Broken locks |
| - | Improperly formed or damaged terminals |
| - | Poor terminal-to-wiring connections |
| - | Physical damage to the wiring harness |
| • | The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction: |
| - | A poor connection |
| - | Rubbed-through wire insulation |
| - | A broken wire inside the insulation |
| • | If an intermittent malfunction exists refer to General Electrical Diagnosis in Wiring systems for further diagnosis. |
