Saturn 2008 Aura 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 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
vehicle directional control.
See Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on page 4-9 and
Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6 for more
information.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-47 for
more information on the messages associated with
this light.
