Traction Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Sable and 2005 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The traction control indicator flashes when the vehicle traction control is in active mode or is being controlled by the anti-lock brake system/traction control (ABS/TC) module. The instrument cluster receives the traction control signal from the ABS/TC module over the CAN circuits. The instrument cluster monitors the traction control signal and when the ABS/TC module detects a traction control concern, turns on the traction control indicator.
