Hi there. When these lights are illuminated, it usually means that there is an issue with your ABS sensor or ABS module. The traction control and ABS both are monitored by the ABS module or control unit. Since the ABS is a key part of your brake system, and traction control is a safety system for stability you should have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic first, to determine precisely what is causing these warning lights to illuminate on the dash before attempting any repairs.
