Stability/Traction Control Switch

The stability/traction control switch is hard-wired to the instrument cluster module. The instrument cluster module communicates the stability/traction control switch status to the ABS module via the high-speed controller area network (HS-CAN).

The stability/traction control switch allows the driver to control use of the roll stability control and traction assist system. This is independent of the ABS function, which cannot be switched OFF by the driver. The roll stability control and traction assist system status is indicated by a light in the stability/traction control switch. When the stability/traction control switch is set to OFF, the system is disabled at and below 32 km/h (20 mph). The system will automatically restore to full functionality every time the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h (20 mph) or the ignition switch is turned OFF and back ON. However, the stability/traction control switch OFF indicator remains illuminated until the switch is pressed. The anti-lock brake function continues to work as designed unless the yellow anti-lock brake warning indicator is also illuminated. Normal braking function always occurs, unless the red brake warning indicator is illuminated.
