and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Low Traction Light
If your vehicle has
the Traction Control
System (TCS) and
has front-wheel-drive,
this light will come on
when the system is
limiting wheel spin.
If your vehicle has all-wheel-drive, this light will come on
when the all-wheel-drive system is protecting itself from
overheating due to extended heavy all wheel drive usage.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this is
normal. The roads may be slippery if this light comes on.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
The light will stay on for a few seconds after the system
stops limiting wheel spin. This light should also come
on for a few seconds when you start your vehicle.
If it does not, have your vehicle serviced.
