It is turned OFF when you press the button and I believe the light blinks when it is functioning. I also think it stays on if you turn the traction control system off. (check that last part)

You are correct, Maximaboy.

The system is on by default every time you start the car. Pressing the TCS button turns the system off, and to remind you that it is off the light illuminates.

When the system is regulating wheelspin, the light flashes.
