The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the traction off indicator by supplying ground to the lamp. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) sends serial data messages to the IPC to command the indicator ON or OFF.
The malfunction must be present during diagnosis in order to prevent unnecessary parts replacement. Always begin diagnosis with Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information.
The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.
