Esc Malfunction Indicator Light And Esc Off Indicator Light - Dodge Durango 2012 Owner's Manual

ESC Malfunction Indicator Light And ESC OFF
Indicator Light
The "ESC Malfunction Indicator Light" in the
instrument cluster will come on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position. It
should go out with the engine running. If the
"ESC Malfunction Indicator Light" comes on continu-
ously 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" indicates the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is off.
The "ESC Malfunction Indicator Light" (located in the
instrument cluster) starts to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESC system becomes active. The "ESC
Malfunction Indicator Light" also flashes when TCS is
active. If the "ESC Malfunction Indicator Light" begins to
flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and
apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your
speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
NOTE:
• The "ESC Malfunction Indicator Light" and the "ESC
OFF Indicator Light" come on momentarily each time
the ignition switch is turned ON.
• Each time the ignition is turned ON, 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.
