Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Cadillac SRX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When traction control is active, the electronic brake control module sends a serial data message to the engine control module requesting torque reduction. When certain electronic brake control module DTCs are set, the engine control module will not be able to perform the torque reduction for traction control. A serial data message is sent to the electronic brake control module indicating that traction control is not allowed.
