### Circuit Description

This symptom table tests the state of the Low Traction warning indicator in order to identify either of the following conditions:

• | The Low Traction warning indicator could not warn the driver of a system malfunction

• | The Low Traction warning indicator is always on

The EBCM/EBTCM must provide a ground in order to turn the amber Low Traction warning indicator on. If CKT 832 is open, the Low Traction warning indicator will remain OFF due to the loss of ground. If the control line is shorted to ground, the Low Traction warning indicator will remain on at all times. DTC C1211 or DTC C1311 will set if any of the following conditions exist:

• | An open in CKT 832

• | A short to ground on CKT 832

• | A short to voltage in CKT 832

### Diagnostic Aids

Use the Lamp Test function of the Scan Tool in order to turn the indicator on while looking for an intermittent malfunction in the Low Traction warning indicator circuitry.

Thoroughly inspect any circuitry that may cause the intermittent complaint for the following conditions:

• | Rubbed-through wire insulation

• | A broken wire inside the insulation

• | Backed out terminals

• | Improper mating

• | Broken locks

• | Improperly formed or damaged terminals

• | Poor terminal-to-wiring connections

• | Physical damage to the wiring harness

Important: Zero the J 39200 test leads before making any resistance measurements.
