2-71 Traction Control System Warning Light
This warning light should
come on briefly as you
start the engine.
If the warning light doesn't come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem. If it
stays on, or comes on when you're driving, there may be
a problem with your traction control system and your
vehicle may need service. When this warning light is on,
the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
The traction control system warning light may come
on for the following reasons:

If you turn the system off by pressing the TC button
located on the center console, the warning light will
come on and stay on. To turn the system back on,
press the button again. The warning light should go
off. See ªTraction Control Systemº in the Index
for more information.
If there's a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning light will come
on. If your brakes begin to overheat, the traction
control system will turn off and the warning light
will come on until your brakes cool down.

If the traction control system is affected by an
engine
-related problem, the system will turn off
and the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.

driving accordingly.

stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow. See ªRocking Your
Vehicleº in the Index.To turn the system off,
press the TC button on the
center console.
The traction control system warning light will come
on and stay on. If the system is limiting wheel spin
when you press the button, the warning light will
come on
-- but the system won't turn off right
away. It will wait until there's no longer a current
need to limit wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. The traction control system
warning light should go off.
