[QUOTE="Vinnie_B, post: 16912971, member: 201678"] [B]AdvanceTrac® System[/B] The traction control function and the ESC function comprise the AdvanceTrac® system. Some vehicles also offer a launch control function and additional functionality through the use of the stability/traction control switch. [B]Traction Control System[/B] The traction control system aids in the prevention of excessive wheel spin allowing the vehicle to maintain traction during acceleration. [B]Electronic Stability Control (ESC) System[/B] The ESC system constantly monitors the direction of travel relative to the driver's intended course, except when the vehicle is traveling in reverse, and aids in keeping the vehicle traveling along that course. [B]Stability/Traction Control Switch[/B] The stability/traction control switch provides the driver the ability to select one of 4 modes for the AdvanceTrac® system. [B]Stability/Traction Control Indicators[/B] There are 2 separate stability/traction control indicators, the stability/traction control indicator and the stability/traction control OFF indicator. Both indicators are located in the IPC message center. The stability/traction control indicator is used to alert the driver that a stability/traction event is taking place (flashes twice per second) and to alert the driver of potential concerns in the AdvanceTrac® system (illuminates continuously). The stability/traction control OFF indicator is used to alert the driver that some or all the AdvanceTrac® system features have been disabled by the driver. This indicator only illuminates continuously and does not flash. One or both of the stability/traction control indicators may illuminate as a result of momentary sensor disturbances due to environmental or driving conditions (including severe vehicle maneuvers or extreme off road usage). Once Illuminated, the indicator remains illuminated until the environmental or driving condition is no longer present and the ignition is cycled from ON to OFF and then back to ON again. If there are no other customer concerns, symptoms, indicators or DTCs , the stability/traction control indicator may have been illuminated due to these environmental or driving conditions. [B]Launch Control[/B] The launch control system works in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac® system and PCM to maximize traction from a standing start acceleration in a straight line. Launch control enables a unique "drag start" traction control calibration designed for high grip surfaces. The system allows the driver to set and hold a desired launch RPM depending on tire temperature, surface condition or weather. Unlike the AdvanceTrac® system, the launch control system does not reset to OFF when the ignition is cycled. For information on setting the launch control system, refer to the Owner's Literature.
