Diagnostic Instructions
Circuit/System Description
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the traction off indicator by supplying ground to the lamp. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) sends a serial data messages to the IPC, in order to command the indicator ON or OFF.
Circuit/System Testing
Important: Diagnose all vehicle DTCs before using this diagnostic.
- With the scan tool, select instrument panel special functions Lamp Test. Command the instrument panel warning lamps ON.
⇒ | If the ABS warning lamp does not turn on, replace the IPC. |
- Turn the ignition OFF. Disconnect the traction control switch harness connector. Turn the ignition ON. Touch and release a 3-amp fused jumper wire between ground and the Traction Control System (TCS) switch signal circuit.
⇒ | If the traction off indicator illuminates, replace the traction control switch. |
- Disconnect the body control module (BCM) harness connector. Touch and release a 3A fused jumper wire between ground and the TCS switch signal circuit at the BCM.
⇒ | If the traction off indicator illuminates, repair an open in the TCS switch signal circuit. |
⇒ | If the traction off indicator does not illuminate replace the BCM. |
