Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning Light
If your vehicle has the
Traction Control System
(TCS), this light comes on
for a few seconds when
the ignition is turned to ON.
If the light does not come on, then have it fixed so it will
be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
The TCS warning light may also come on for the
following reasons:
• If you turn the system off by pressing the TCS
button located below the shift lever, the light
will come on and stay on. To turn the system back
on, press the button again and the warning light
should go out.
• If there is a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the TCS will turn off and
the warning light will come on. If your brakes
begin to overheat, the TCS will turn off and the
warning light will come on until the brakes
cool down.
If the TCS warning light comes on and stays on for an
extended period of time when the system is turned
on, there may be a problem with your TCS and your
vehicle needs service.
When the TCS warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
Traction Control System Active
Light
If your vehicle has the
Traction Control System
(TCS), the TCS active light
comes on while the
traction control function is
actively operating.
This light comes on briefly when the ignition is turned to
ON. If the light does not come on, then have it fixed
so it will be ready to tell you when the system is active.
