Stability/Traction Control Switch

The stability/traction control switch provides the driver with the ability to disable only the traction control feature. Anti-lock control, ESC and RSC® systems will remain functional. The switch is hard-wired to the ABS module. When the stability/traction control switch is pressed a ground signal is sent to the ABS module. The ABS module then sends a message over the HS-CAN bus to the IC indicating that the driver has requested that the system be deactivated and the IC illuminates the stability/traction control indicator "sliding-car icon". The ABS module and the PCM will then ignore any traction events until the driver presses the switch again or until the ignition key is cycled.
