What is the purpose of the traction control light on a Cadillac?

Answer by  worker2746 (2434)

The traction control light on a Cadillac is there to help you realize when it goes into all wheel or four wheel drive. The light comes on when the wheels are beginning to slip and that it kicks into gear to increase the traction by utilizing more tires on the Escalade.

If you have a traction control light on then there may a problem with the drive train or traction control system. This light may also be used to indicate when the system is on or off so that you don't accidentally turn the system off. To know for sure, consult your owners manual.

The purpose is to alert the driver that the Cadillac is automatically adjusting the output of the engine to compensate for road conditions and prevent tire slippage.

This light indicates when the tires are slipping on the roadway, and the vehicle is attempting to correct the problem. This happens in icy conditions.
