Good morning,

This indicates there is a fault code stored for the system. You need to have the code checked. Once you know the code, I can help narrow the area of failure.

You can go to a parts store and they will read the code for free. Let me know the code so we can continue.

It sounds like the ABS system has a fault as that is what controls the traction control system.

OK, 1422

I attached the flow chart for tis code. You will need an advanced scan tool to monitor the system for this check. No easy resolution without proper diagnostics.
