Traction Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The traction control indicator flashes when the traction control is in active mode and is being controlled by the ABS module or the all wheel drive control module. The instrument cluster receives the traction control signal from the ABS module or the differential electronic module (DEM) (all wheel drive control module) through the communication network. The instrument cluster monitors the traction control and the all wheel drive signal, and when the ABS module or the all wheel drive module detects a concern, the instrument cluster illuminates the traction control indicator.
