5-22 Instruments and Controls
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.
