Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning Light
Your vehicle has a
Traction Control
System (TCS)
warning light.
If this warning light comes on and stays on, there may
be a problem with the TCS and, if your vehicle has
this feature, the StabiliTrak
®
system.
The TCS warning light will come on briefly when the
engine is started. If it does not come on then, have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is
a problem. This light will also come on when the
traction control button is pressed disabling the system.
If the TCS warning light stays on or comes on while
you are driving, pull off the road as soon as possible and
stop carefully. Try resetting the system by turning the
ignition off then back on. If the light still stays on
or comes back on again while you are driving, your
vehicle needs service. Have the traction control system
and, if your vehicle has this feature, the StabiliTrak
®
system inspected as soon as possible. See Traction
Control System (TCS) on page 4-6 and StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-8 for more information.
