Circuit Description
The PCM monitors various parameters and will not allow traction control operation if any parameter falls outside a specified range.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM diagnoses a condition preventing the engine control portion of the traction control function and sends a serial data message to the EBCM indicating that torque reduction is not allowed. The PCM will typically set a DTC and the EBCM will set this DTC.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The EBCM disables the TCS until the DTC becomes a history DTC. |
| • | The Traction Off indicator turns ON. |
| • | The ABS remains functional. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for the DTC is no longer present and the DTC is cleared with a scan tool. |
