The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the StabiliTrak indicator during the IPC bulb check or when the electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a fault and sends a serial data message to the IPC commanding the indicator ON.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, with a scan tool command the IPC display test ON and OFF. The StabiliTrak indicator should turn ON and OFF.

⇒	If the indicator does not turn ON and OFF, replace the IPC.

2. Observe the scan tool body control module (BCM) Traction Control Switch parameter while pressing and releasing the traction control switch. The reading should change between Active and Inactive.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Radio/HVAC Control.
2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal 16 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Inactive.

⇒	If not the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 14 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 14 and the ground circuit terminal 16. Verify the scan tool Traction Control Switch parameter is Active.

⇒	If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the BCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the traction control switch.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the traction control switch.
2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal terminal 16 and the ground terminal 14 with the switch in the open position.

⇒	If not the specified value, replace the traction control switch.

3. Test for less than 3 ohms between the signal terminal 16 and the ground terminal 14 with the switch in the closed position.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, replace the traction control switch.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
