- A DTC C0240 is stored
- The TCS is disabled
- The TRAC OFF indicator is turned on
- If the TCS is again allowed to function, the indicator will be turned off but the DTC will be stored

- 100 ignition cycles have passed with no DTCs detected

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
This code is primarily for information only. As an aid to the technician, this code indicates that there are no problems in the ABS/TCS system, if it is a history code. If it is a current code, the PCM has detected a malfunction within the engine control system that would not allow traction control to function, or there may be a suspect PCM. Refer to Powertrain Control Module Diagnosis in Powertrain Management 3.5 for information on PCM diagnosis.
