Instruments and Controls

5-19

If the light is on and not flashing, the
TCS and potentially the StabiliTrak
system have been disabled. Check
the DIC messages to determine
which feature(s) is no longer
functioning and whether it is
because of the driver turning off the
feature(s), or because the system is
not working properly and the vehicle
requires service.

If the TCS is disabled, wheel spin is
not limited. If the StabiliTrak system
is disabled, the system does not aid
in maintaining directional control of
the vehicle.

If the indicator/warning light is on
and flashing, the TCS or the
StabiliTrak system is actively
working. Check the DIC messages
for details to determine which
system is working. If the LOW
TRACTION message appears, the
system is limiting wheel spin. If a
message appears in the DIC, the
system is aiding in maintaining
directional control of the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Light

For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the engine
is started. It provides information
about tire pressures and the TPMS.

When the Light Is On Steady

This indicates that one or more
of the tires are significantly
underinflated.

A tire pressure message can
accompany the light. See Tire
Messages on page 5‑30
for more
information. Stop as soon as
possible, and inflate the tires to the
pressure value shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label.
See Tire Pressure on page 10‑49
for more information.

When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady

This indicates that there may be a
problem with the TPMS. The light
flashes for about a minute and
stays on steady for the remainder of
the ignition cycle. This sequence
repeats with every ignition cycle.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation on page 10‑52
for
more information.
