Ram 1500/2500/3500: ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light And
ESC OFF Indicator Light
The "ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator
Light" in the instrument cluster will come on
when the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position. It should go out with the engine
running. If the "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light" comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been
detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the
vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at
speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the problem
diagnosed and corrected.
The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" (located
in the instrument cluster) starts to flash as soon as
the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active.
The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light" also
flashes when TCS is active. If the "ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light" begins to flash during acceleration,
ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and
driving to the prevailing road conditions.
NOTE:
- The "ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light"
and the "ESC OFF Indicator Light" come on momentarily
each time the ignition switch is turned ON.
- Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESC system
will be ON even if it was turned off previously.
- The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking sounds
when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop
when ESC becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
The "ESC OFF Indicator Light"
indicates the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is partially
off.
