With Traction Control

The Electronic Brake Traction Control Module (EBTCM) continuously monitors itself and the other ABS VI/Traction Control System (TCS) components. If the EBTCM detects a malfunction with the system, the ABS warning indicator or TCS warning indicator will light continuously (solid indicator) to alert the driver of the malfunction. The ABS warning indicator will flash if the EBTCM attempts to turn on the red BRAKE warning indicator in conjunction with the ABS warning indicator and is unable to do so. The ABS warning indicator is flashed to warn the driver that an ABS malfunction exists which may have degraded base brake performance. No antilock braking will be available. The vehicle must be serviced immediately to regain full base and ABS braking ability.

CAUTION: The braking system may not be working properly If the ABS warning Indicator Is flashing. Driving with a flashing ABS warning Indicator can lead to an accident. It the ABS warning indicator Is flashing, pull safely off the road and have the vehicle towed for service.

A solid ABS warning indicator indicates that a malfunction has been detected that affects the operation of ABS. No antilock braking will be available. Normal, non-antilock brake performance will remain. In order to regain ABS braking ability, the ABS must be serviced. If the EBTCM detects a problem with the TCS, the amber TCS warning indicator will illuminate to alert the driver of the problem. A solid TCS warning indicator indicates that a problem has been detected that affects the operation of the TCS. No traction control will be available, however base braking and ABS will be unaffected. The amber ABS warning indicator will be turned on along with the amber TCS warning indicator anytime the EBTCM suspects the ABS operation has been degraded due to a system malfunction. The red BRAKE warning indicator will be illuminated when a low brake fluid level in the master cylinder is sensed, the parking brake switch is closed, or under control of the EBTCM when certain ABS or TCS codes are set. This indicator indicates to the driver a base brake problem may exist. The ABS/TCS active indicator is used to alert the driver when ABS or TCS is active. Anytime the EBTCM determines that the vehicle has entered an event where ABS or TCS is required, the active indicator will turn on to indicate that ABS or TCS is active. The active indicator will remain on for approximately 3 to 4 seconds after the ABS or TCS event is completed.
