Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation

When the ignition switch is first turned to RUN, the TRACTION OFF indicator lights for approximately two to four seconds. When only the TRACTION OFF indicator remains ON beyond four seconds, the cause could be one of the following:
- TCS (only) system malfunction is detected by the EBTCM.
- A short to ground in the indicator's circuitry.
- ON/OFF switch and short to ground in switch circuitry.
- PCM requested TCS to disable.
