GM Chevrolet Avalanche - Manual (Page 212)

STABILITY SYS DISABLED
The STABILITY SYS DISABLED message will turn on
when you press the StabiliTrak
® button or when the
stability control has been automatically disabled.
There are four conditions that can cause this
message to appear.
• One condition is overheating, which could occur if
StabiliTrak
® activates continuously for an extended
period of time.
• The message will also be displayed if the brake
system warning light is on. See Brake System
Warning Light on page 3-35.
• The message could be displayed if the stability
system takes longer than usual to complete its
diagnostic checks due to driving conditions.
• Also, if an engine or vehicle related problem has
been detected, and the vehicle needs service,
the message will appear. See your GM dealer.
The message will turn off as soon as the conditions that
caused the message to be displayed are no longer
present.
For more information on the StabiliTrak ® system, see
StabiliTrak ® System on page 4-10.
TIGHTEN FUEL CAP
If the vehicle’s fuel cap is not tightened properly this
message may appear along with the check engine light
on the instrument panel. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 3-39. Reinstall the fuel cap, making sure
to fully install the cap. See Filling Your Tank on
page 5-9. The diagnostic system can determine if the
fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed. A loose
or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into
the atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap properly
installed should turn the light and message off.
TRACTION ACTIVE
When the traction control system has detected that any
of the vehicle’s wheels are slipping, the traction
control system will activate and this message will appear
on the DIC. For more information see Traction Assist
System (TAS) on page 4-8 and StabiliTrak
® System on
page 4-10.
TRACTION SYS LIMITED
If the brake traction control system activates constantly
or if the brakes have heated up due to high-speed
braking, brake traction control will be disabled and the
TRACTION SYS LIMITED message will be displayed.
For more information on the StabiliTrak ® system and
traction control, see StabiliTrak ® System on page 4-10.
