It does come on. you just have to press the traction control button twice fast. IF IT DOESNT show on the screen, then they setup your radio wrong if you got a replacement and they have it set as regular cts. With a tech2 you can easily switch it back to a ctsv.

I believe its effected. I have had it not load up on the screen before and felt the nannies kick in. I did notice, when the dealership repaired one of the curbed wheels, they rotated the tires and didn't reset the tire pressure monitor. So what the monitor thought was my rear tires was actually my front. That seemed to have messed with the TC, but it might just be me putting 2 and 2 together when its not true.

Traction control or stability control IS NOT EFFECTED by the radio not being set up right.
The only thing it changes is the radios ability to display bus messages pertaining to the V hardware extras of the ls1 type computer it uses instead of the northstar one.

I would be appreciative.
BTW the service guy just called and left a message. He just told me how to turn the Comp Mode on .... hello? I'm in trouble aren't I? I emailed him a copy of that TSB you posted. Thanks.

Thank you kind sir. I have never seen that on my screen since the day I took ownership. The salesman was very knowledgeable about the V and was even telling me something didn't seem right when we couldn't cycle through to Comp Mode. It shall be fixed!

They couldn't get it done for you?
Should be a simple Tech II update.

Two things need to happen so your comp mode / stability control work properly.
1: All of you tire pressure sensors have to be in working order. Whether the read front to back or vice versa is ok, but all 4 need to be reading.
2: Your radio needs to be recognized by the car's computer as a cts-v as previously stated.
