Etc Warning Indicator (TC)

Illuminates for 3 seconds after the Ignition switch is turned on and the ABS and traction control systems have completed their self-checks.

Whilst driving, the TC light will illuminate (for a minimum of 2 seconds) whenever traction control is active; the light extinguishing as soon as traction control ceases. The light flashing (for at least 10 seconds) indicates that the system has been over-used; it will be available again once the system components have cooled.

If the light illuminates continuously, a fault with the system is indicated.

The ABS System is interfaced to the Instrument Cluster (Z142) via the BeCM (Z238).
