Traction Control (TC) Indicator Light
The Traction Control (TC)
indicator light is used to indicate that
the traction control system is active and
is working to limit rear wheel slip during
periods of hard acceleration or under
wet or slippery road conditions. Traction
control will not function if there is a
malfunction with the ABS. The warning
lights for the ABS, traction control and
the MIL will be illuminated.
Warning
If the traction control is not
functioning, care must be taken when
accelerating and cornering on wet/
slippery road surfaces to avoid rear
wheel spin.
Do not continue to ride for longer than
is
necessary with the engine
management system Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) and traction
control warning lights illuminated.
Contact an authorised Triumph dealer
as soon as possible to have the fault
checked.
Hard acceleration and cornering in
this situation may cause the rear
wheel to spin resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
If traction control is switched on:
▼
Under normal riding conditions the
TC indicator light will remain off.
▼ The TC indicator light will flash
rapidly when the traction control
system is working to limit rear wheel
slip
during periods of hard
acceleration or under wet or slippery
road conditions.
If traction control is switched off:
▼ The TC indicator light will not
illuminate. Instead the TC disabled
warning light will be illuminated.
Traction Control (TC) Disabled
Warning Light
The TC disabled warning light
should not illuminate unless traction
control is switched off or there is a
malfunction.
If the warning light becomes illuminated
while riding, it indicates that the
traction
control system has a
malfunction that requires investigation.
