Enhanced Traction System Warning Light
(If Equipped)
United States Canada
With the Enhanced Traction System (ETS), this warning
light should come on briefly as you start the engine.
If the warning light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If the warning light stays on, or comes on when you’re
driving, there may be a problem with your Enhanced
Traction System and your vehicle may need service.
When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The Enhanced Traction System warning light may come
on for the following reasons:
If you turn the system off by pressing the button
located on the instrument panel, the warning light
will come on and stay on. To turn the system back
on, press the button again. The warning light should
go off. See “Enhanced Traction System” in the
Index for more information.
The warning light will come on when you set your
parking brake with the engine running, and it will
stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully.
If the system is turned on and the warning light
stays on after your parking brake is fully released,
it means there’s a problem with the system.
If the traction control system is affected by an
engine
-related problem, the system will turn off
and the warning light will come on.
If the vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road,
the warning light may come on momentarily but
will go off again when the vehicle leaves the
rough surface.
If the Enhanced Traction System warning light comes
on and stays on for an extended period of time when
the system is turned on and the parking brake is fully
released, your vehicle needs service.
