Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The traction control switch is used to switch the traction control off and on. When the traction control switch is pressed, the ABS module receives a ground signal from the switch and sends a traction control switch message to the BCM over the HS-CAN1, the BCM relays this message to the IPC over the MS-CAN. The ABS module continues to monitor for wheel slip, but takes no action when wheel slip is detected.

NOTE: If equipped, MyKey allows users to configure traction control to be either always on or selectable. If a MyKey restricted key is in use with the MyKey traction control feature configured to always on, traction control cannot be disabled. An admin key must be used to enable and disable traction control.

NOTE: This test requires the use of at least 2 ignition keys (passive or IKT) programmed to the vehicle; one admin ignition key and one restricted ignition key.
