Traction Control Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System (ESP/BAS)/Traction Control System (TCS) traction control indicator is only found in the
instrument clusters for vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine. However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional ESP/BAS/TCS, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The traction control indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Stability - Anti-Spin in the
opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through
the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board.
The traction control indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
