Default Traction Overheat in '02 msg. center???

The traction overheat showed in the message center yesterday once around 3 PM and then later on around 11 PM, it had done it one time before about 4 months ago, but it only happened once so I didn't think anything of it. What does this mean or what could this mean?

Thanks in advance

could be battery...I have seen that in the MSG CENTRE when battery was discharged...I'd replace yours with an Optima Yellow Top...that counteracts much of the discharging problems RRs have I hear/in my experience so far having one (Optima) for 4 months in my 02. Google Optima Yellow TOp for where to find/buy. They are around $250.

Thanks! I'll have my battery tested first though because it's an 11 month old NAPA brand Commercial Heavy Duty type battery that has a 2-year warranty with a nice price tag, anybody know what it could be if it's not the battery??

Go to your dealer or shop and have them scan for a problem, you won't be able to track it down.
