Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light
Yellow Telltale Light
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Indicator Light — If Equipped
The "ESC Indicator Light" in the instrument cluster will come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position. It
should go out when the engine is running. If the "ESC Indicator Light" comes on continuously with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has
been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as
possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
• The "ESC Off Indicator Light" and the "ESC Indicator Light" come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is
placed in the ON/RUN position.
• Each time the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position, the ESC system will be ON, even if it was turned off previously.
• The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused the ESC activation.
NOTE:
This telltale indicates that an ESC event is active.
Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Indicator Light
Yellow Telltale Light
Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Indicator Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition switch is placed in the ON/
RUN position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and
service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the brake warning light is
not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes.
If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition switch is placed in the ON/RUN position, have the light inspected by an
authorized dealer.
