TCS OFF SWITCH, TCS OFF LIGHT OPERATION

id041800820600

• When the dynamic stability control (DSC)/roll stability control (RSC) system are functioning normally, the TCS OFF light illuminates for approx. 3 s when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
• When the TCS OFF switch is pressed to disable, the TCS control, the TCS OFF light illuminates.

  Note
  • To inhibit the TCS control, continue to press the TCS OFF switch until the TCS OFF light illuminates.
  • When the vehicle speed is 15 km/h or more, the TCS control cannot be disabled even if the TCS OFF switch is pressed.

• The TCS automatically becomes operable when the vehicle speed reaches 15 km/h even if the TCS control has been disabled by pressing the TCS OFF switch. The TCS OFF light turns off simultaneously.
• The TCS OFF light illumination and RSC/DSC/TCS control conditions while operating the TCS OFF switch are as indicated in the table.

| TCS OFF light illumination conditions | RSC control conditions | DSC control conditions | TCS control conditions
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Brake control | Engine control
TCS ON | Not illuminated | Permitted | Permitted | Permitted | Permitted
TCS OFF | Illuminated | Inhibited | Inhibited | Inhibited | Inhibited

• If the following occurs only for the TCS OFF light, a TCS OFF switch malfunction may have occurred. Refer to the Workshop Manual and inspect the TCS OFF switch.

  Note
  • The DSC/RSC HU/CM does not have a TCS OFF switch malfunction detection function. Therefore, a DTC is not stored and the fail-safe function does not operate.

  ― The TCS OFF light illuminates while driving even if the TCS OFF switch is not pressed.
  ― The TCS OFF light does not illuminate even if the TCS OFF switch is pressed at a vehicle speed of less than 15 km/h.
