Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
ESP With BAS Indicator - Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System (ESP/BAS) 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, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower
portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The ESP/BAS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text ESP BAS 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 ESP/BAS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
