    You can take your car to an auto supply store and get the error codes read out. Some stores, Advanced Auto etc will loan you a meter to do it for free.

Most likely a bad wheel bearing, or wiring to the wheel bearing. I would start by having it scanned to point you in the right direction. (What bearing to look at). Could also be something in the ABS module.

SOURCE: servie engine light on traction light goes off

It could be your wheel bearings, jack your car so one wheel is off the ground. Make sure the vehicle is properly blocked. Firmly grasp the tire/wheel an shake it back and forth for play.

How to turn off traction control for a 2002 Buick Century

The Enhanced
Traction System
warning light may
come on for the
following reasons:

If you turn the system off by shifting to SECOND (2)
or FIRST (1), the warning light will come on and stay
on. To turn the system back on, shift to THIRD (3) or
AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE (). See “Enhanced
Traction System” in the Index.

If the Enhanced Traction System warning light
comes on and stays on for an extended period of
time when the system is turned on, your vehicle
needs service. Adjust your driving accordingly.

The warning light will come on when you set your
parking brake with the engine running, and it will
stay on if your parking brake doesn’t release fully.
If the transaxle shift lever is in any position other
than FIRST (1) or SECOND (2) and the warning
light stays on after your parking brake is fully
released, it means there’s a problem with the system.

If the traction control system is affected by an
engine-related problem, the system will turn off
and the warning light will come on.

My 2007 Yukon Denali has 86000mi on it. I shut it off and turned it back on 10mins later to see Service Traction Control, and Service Stabiltrak scrolling across the info screen. The truck runs poorly...

Ok just so you know that service traction control and stabiltrak well come on if there is any check engine light on and if it's running poorly then i have to guess that there is also a check engine light on!! Once there any repairs are done then you would have to clear out the codes in the ECM, traction and suspension in that order!! GOOD LUCK !

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix

The service engine soon light would have nothing to do with the oil or the coolant. There are many things that can cause the SES to come on, and some of them will cause the traction off light (TRAC OFF) or similar to come on because the traction has been dissabled. You will need to have the check engine light codes scanned. There will be trouble codes stored in the computer. From there the problem would need to be diagnosed, problem repaired, then codes cleared. Here is site with a list of some typical trouvble codes......
