Chevrolet 2008 Automobile User Manual


 
If this light is on and not flashing, the TCS and
potentially the ESC system have been disabled. Check
your DIC messaging to determine which feature(s) is
no longer functioning and whether it is because of
the driver turning off the feature(s), or the system may
not be working properly and your vehicle requires
service. If the TCS is disabled, wheel spin will not be
limited. If the ESC system is disabled, the system
will not aid in maintaining vehicle directional control. In
either case, adjust your driving accordingly.
If the light is on and flashing, the TCS or the ESC
system is actively working. Check the DIC messaging
for details to determine which system is working. If
the LOW TRACTION message appears, the system is
limiting wheel spin. If the ESC ACTIVE message
appears, the system is aiding in maintaining vehicle
directional control.
See Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on page 4-10 and
Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6 for more
information.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-48 for
more information on the messages associated with this
light.
