Enhanced Traction System
Warning Light
If your vehicle is equipped with the Enhanced Traction
System (ETS), this warning light should come on
briefly as you start the engine. If the warning light
doesn’t come on, then have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn you if there’s a problem.
If the warning light stays on, or comes on when you’re
driving, there may be a problem with your Enhanced
Traction System and your vehicle may need service.
When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The Enhanced Traction System warning light may come
on for the following reasons:
If you turn the system off by moving the shift lever
to FIRST (1) or SECOND (2), the warning light will
come on and stay on. To turn the system back
on, move the shift lever back to a position other
than FIRST (1) or SECOND (2). The warning light
should go off. See
Enhanced Traction System (ETS)
on page 4-8
for more information.
The warning light will come on when you set your
parking brake with the engine running, and it will
stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully. If
the transaxle shift lever is in any position other
than FIRST (1) or SECOND (2) and the warning
light stays on after your parking brake is fully
released, it means there’s a problem with the
system.
If the traction control system is affected by an
engine-related problem, the system will turn off and
the warning light will come on.
If the vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road,
the warning light may come on momentarily but will
go off again when the vehicle leaves the rough
surface.
If the Enhanced Traction System warning light comes
on and stays on for an extended period of time when the
transaxle shift lever is in any position other than
FIRST (1) or SECOND (2), your vehicle needs service.
