Chevrolet 2010 Cobalt Coupe Automobile User Manual


 
If this light is on and not flashing, the TCS and
potentially the ESC system have been disabled.
Check the 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 because the system
is not working properly and the vehicle requires service.
If the TCS is disabled, wheel spin is not limited. If the
ESC system is disabled, the system does not aid in
maintaining directional control of the vehicle.
If the indicator/warning 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
directional control of the vehicle.
