Traction Ready Indicator Always On w/NW9
Circuit Description
The Traction Ready indicator is located on the traction control switch and is controlled by the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via serial data messages from the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The indicator is illuminated when the traction control system (TCS) is ready to be activated, if necessary. When the EBCM disables the TCS, it sends a serial data message to the IPC. The IPC then turns OFF the Traction Ready indicator. Each time the ignition is cycled from OFF to ON, the TCS is enabled.
