Electronic Stability Control (Esc)/ Traction Control System (Tcs) Indicator/Warning Light - Pontiac Solstice 2010 Owner's Manual

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)/
Traction Control System (TCS)
Indicator/Warning Light
If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by the
dealer/retailer. If the system is working normally
the indicator light goes off.
This light, along with the appropriate Driver Information
Center (DIC) messages, indicates when the ESC
system and the TCS are working or are disabled.
The Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system
or the Traction Control
System (TCS) indicator/
warning light comes on
briefly when the engine
is started.
If the light comes on and stays on, the TCS and
potentially the ESC system have been disabled.
Check the DIC messaging to determine which system
is turned off, or not working. If the system is not working,
the vehicle needs service. See your dealer/retailer.
When the TCS is disabled, wheel spin is not limited.
When the ESC system is disabled, the system does
not aid in maintaining vehicle directional control.
If the light comes on and flashes, the TCS or the ESC
system is actively working. When the LOW TRACTION
message appears, the system is limiting wheel spin.
When the ESC ACTIVE message appears, the system
is aiding in maintaining vehicle directional control.
See Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on page 5-6 and
