Stability/Traction Control Indicators

Both the stability/traction control indicator (sliding car icon) and the stability/traction control disabled indicator (sliding car OFF icon) alert the driver of stability/traction control system status.

When certain stability control system DTC(s) are present, the ABS module sends a message to the IPC  over the HS-CAN  . Depending on the nature of the DTC(s), the IPC  responds by either solidly illuminating 1 or both icons or by flashing the icon(s) once every 2 seconds.

When a stability/traction control event is taking place, the ABS module sends a message to the IPC  over the HS-CAN  to flash the sliding car icon twice per second.

When the driver disables the stability/traction control system by using the traction control switch, the IPC  receives a ground signal from the switch and then sends a message over the HS-CAN  indicating that the driver has requested the system be deactivated and illuminates the sliding car OFF icon.
