Sway Bar Disconnected Indicator Symbols

Sway Bar

This is a Sway Bar Disconnected Indicator symbol. It indicates that the sway bar has been disconnected electronically. If this was not intended, the disconnect switch may have been activated inadvertently.

  • Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
  • Otherwise, you can return to our main Text Symbols page and scan again!

A vehicle may have the capability to have the sway bar disconnect electronically. This allows greater front suspension travel in for off-road applications and should only be used (disconnected) in these applications. The process is controlled by the Sway Bar switch on the dashboard. A fault in the control of this feature will result in the same symbol, with the added exclamation point.

A sway bar is vital to the control of any vehicle in normal driving conditions. If it does not re-engage, the sway bar indicator will flash continuously. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle above 15 miles per hour and have the system serviced as soon as possible.
