Chart D "Traction Off" Indicator Lamp Does Not Function:







CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the ignition is first turned to "RUN," the EBTCM goes through a self-test. During this test, the EBCM grounds both the "ANTILOCK" and "TRACTION OFF" indicators for approximately 2 to 4 seconds. This acts as a bulb test for the indicators.


Traction Control Switch
Located in the instrument panel center trim plate, the switch allows the driver to select the traction control mode (on/off). When the traction control system is turned off, the "TRACTION OFF" indicator remains illuminated.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Possible Causes
^ Open in CKT 150, 1451, 1571 or 1572.
^ Open bulb.
^ Faulty traction control switch.

IMPORTANT
^ When the vehicle is equipped with traction control, any symptom which lights the "ANTILOCK" indicator also lights the "TRACTION OFF" indicator. Therefore, when both indicators are lit, follow "ANTILOCK" indicator diagnosis when no diagnostic trouble codes are set.
