Test X: The Traction Assist Indicator Is Never/Always On

PINPOINT TEST X: THE TRACTION ASSIST INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON

Normal Operation
When the PCM senses a traction assist event is taking place, it sends the instrument cluster (IC) a message over the communication network to illuminate the traction assist indicator or to flash the traction assist indicator. The traction assist indicator informs the driver that a traction assist event is taking place, by flashing the indicator. It is also used to indicate a malfunction in the traction assist system, or if the traction assist control has been disabled by the operator, by illuminating the indicator constantly (not flashing).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Traction assist system
- PCM
- Instrument cluster (IC)
