Hi there. The Trac Off light is for the traction control. The computer has turned off the traction control for a various reason. The controller could be malfunctioning, the vehicle speed sensor could be malfunctioning, or the wheel speed sensors could be malfunctioning. Since the engine light is on, check for any codes that are stored in the computer for a starting place for diagnosing your traction control being disabled.
