Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
A traction control indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional Traction Control
System (TCS), this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area above and to the right of the
speedometer needle hub.
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.
