Low Traction Indicator Always On

Circuit Description
The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) turns the LOW TRAC Indicator on during the IPC bulb check for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position. The LOW TRAC indicator is controlled by the EBCM. The LOW TRAC indicator is activated (turned On) during a traction control event only. When the EBCM detects a low traction condition it turns on the LOW TRAC indicator by sending a Class 2 message to the IPC.

Diagnostic Aids
^ It is very important that a thorough inspection of the wiring and connectors be performed. Failure to carefully and fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction.
^ Thoroughly inspect any circuitry that may be causing the complaint for the following conditions:
- Backed out terminals
- Improper mating
- Broken locks
- Improperly formed or damaged terminals
- Poor terminal-to-wiring connections
- Physical damage to the wiring harness

^ The following conditions may cause an intermittent malfunction:
- A poor connection
- Rubbed-through wire insulation
- A broken wire inside the insulation

^ If an intermittent malfunction exists refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections.
