Service Traction System Warning

Message

United States
If your vehicle has the traction control system and this
message is displayed when you're driving, there may be
a problem with your traction control system. Your
vehicle may need service.
When this message is displayed, the traction control
system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
The message may appear for the following reasons:
•
If there's a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning message will
come on.
•
If your brakes begin to overheat, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning message will
come on until your brakes cool down.
•
If the traction control system warning message comes
on and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.

Traction Active Message

Canada
If your vehicle has the traction control system, the
TRACTION ACTIVE message will appear when the
traction control system is limiting wheel spin. You may
feel or hear the system working, but this is normal.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this message
appears, so adjust your driving accordingly. The
message will stay on for a few seconds after the traction
control system stops limiting wheel spin.
If the traction control system is affected by an
engine-related problem, the system will turn off and
the warning message will come on.
