TIGHTEN FUEL CAP
If the vehicle’s fuel cap is not tightened properly, this
message may appear along with the check engine light
on the instrument panel cluster. See Malfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 3-45. Reinstall the fuel cap
fully. See Filling the Tank on page 5-8. The diagnostic
system can determine if the fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. A loose or missing fuel cap will
allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere. A few
driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn
this light and message off.
TRACTION ACTIVE
When the traction control system has detected that any
of the vehicle’s wheels are slipping, the traction
control system will activate and this message will appear
on the DIC. See StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-9 for
more information.
TRACTION SYS (System) LIMITED
If the brake traction control system activates constantly
or if the brakes have heated up due to high-speed
braking, brake traction control will be disabled and the
TRACTION SYS LIMITED message will be displayed.
The system will return to normal operation after the
brakes have cooled. See StabiliTrak
®
System on
page 4-9 for more information.
TRANS (Transmission) HOT IDLE
ENGINE
Notice: If you drive your vehicle while the
transmission fluid is overheating and the
transmission temperature warning is displayed on
the instrument panel cluster and/or DIC, you
can damage the transmission. This could lead to
costly repairs that would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not drive your vehicle with
overheated transmission fluid or while the
transmission temperature warning is displayed.
If the transmission fluid in the vehicle gets hot,
this message will appear on the DIC along with a
continuous chime. Driving with the transmission fluid
temperature high can cause damage to the vehicle. Stop
the vehicle and let it idle to allow the transmission to
cool. This message will clear and the chime will
stop when the fluid temperature reaches a safe level.
See Transmission Temperature Gage on page 3-43.
