Locations    - If traction control indicator light does 
not light up, check vehicle voltage and 
wire from terminal 31 of ABS control 
module -J104- to instrument cluster for 
short circuit to B+ and open circuit. 
- If traction control indicator lamp 
remains continuously lit, check wire 
from terminal 31 of ABS control 
module -J104- to instrument cluster for 
short circuit to Ground (GND).

 This DTC is only stored, if the malfunction 
occurs at a vehicle speed above 6 km/h. 
 As soon as vehicle voltage is within the 
valid voltage range again, the ABS, 
ABS/EDL or ASR system is switched back 
on and the warning lights turn off.
