If there’s a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning message will

If your brakes begin to overheat, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning message will
come on until your brakes cool down.

If the traction control system warning message comes
on and stays on for an extended period of time when the
