driver in keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. Trailer Sway Control
(TSC) is also on automatically when
the vehicle is started. See Trailer
Sway Control (TSC) 0 320.
If cruise control is being used and
traction control or StabiliTrak/ESC
begins to limit wheel spin, cruise
control will disengage. Cruise
control may be turned back on when
road conditions allow.
Both systems come on
automatically when the vehicle is
started and begins to move. The
systems may be heard or felt while
they are operating or while
performing diagnostic checks. This
is normal and does not mean there
is a problem with the vehicle.
It is recommended to leave both
systems on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn TCS off if the vehicle gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow.
See If the Vehicle Is Stuck 0 241
and Turning the Systems Off and
On later in this section.
When the transfer case (if equipped)
is in Four-Wheel Drive Low, the
stability system is automatically
disabled, comes on, and the
appropriate message will appear on
the DIC. Both traction control and
StabiliTrak/ESC are automatically
disabled in this condition.
The indicator light for both systems
is in the instrument cluster. This
light will:
Flash when TCS is limiting
wheel spin
Flash when StabiliTrak/ESC is
activated
Turn on and stay on when either
system is not working
If either system fails to turn on or to
activate, a message displays in the
Driver Information Center (DIC), and
comes on and stays on to
indicate that the system is inactive
and is not assisting the driver in
maintaining control. The vehicle is
safe to drive, but driving should be
adjusted accordingly.
If comes on and stays on:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and wait
15 seconds.
3. Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle. If comes on
and stays on, the vehicle may need
more time to diagnose the problem.
If the condition persists, see your
dealer.
