Traction Control Switch: Description and Operation

ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH
The electronic traction control switch is located in the glove box. The electronic traction control switch is a momentary contact switch used to enabled or disable the traction control system. The switch assembly consists of a momentary contact press button switch. Traction Control System (TCS) can be enabled and disabled during an ignition cycle by pressing the switch. Each "key-on" resets the TCS to enable. This insures a consistent state at startup for the driver. When the electronic traction control switch is depressed, the TCS will be disabled. The amber "TRACTION CONTROL" indicator lamp in the Instrument Panel (I/P) will turn "ON" to indicate the system has been disabled. The TCS will default to "ON" if the switch is held down for 15 seconds or longer, as this will be interrupted be the Electronic Brake Traction Control Module (EBTCM) as a malfunction in the switch circuit.
