Are those the only lights that are on? Also how is your alignment? If steering wheel is not straight it will cause the traction to activate and cut the power to your vehicle thinking you are over steering at whatever speed you are going. So if you have an alignment issue have it taken care of dirst. Good luck and hope this helps.
