The Traction Control System (TCS)/StabiliTrak system warning light comes on briefly as the engine is started.

If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator lights go off.

If the light stays on, or comes on while driving and the DIC shows a SERVICE TRACTION SYS or a SERVICE STABILITRAK message, there is a problem with the Traction Control System (TCS) or the StabiliTrak® system and the vehicle needs service.

When the Traction Control system and/or StabiliTrak® system are turned off, the light comes on and a chime sounds. The DIC displays either TRACTION SYSTEM OFF or TRAC/STABILITRAK OFF message.

When this light is on, the TCS system does not limit wheel spin and/or the StabiliTrak® system does not assist with vehicle control.

When the Traction Control System and/or StabiliTrak® system are turned on, the light turns off and a chime sounds. The DIC displays either a TRACTION SYSTEM ON or TRAC/STABILITRAK ON message.

See Traction Control System (TCS) , StabiliTrak® System and DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.
