What does it mean when your traction control light comes on and stays on?
When the traction control warning light stays on, that means you aren’t getting any help from the system to control traction and the system needs to be checked. Some systems are so sensitive that at the first sign of wheel slip, they immediately reduce power or apply the brakes so much that you go nowhere.
Can you drive with ABS and traction light on?
If the TCS and the ABS warning lights both come on, along with the red main brake warning light, you should not drive the car until the problem has been fixed. Your entire braking system is affected, and may not be able to stop your vehicle when you need it to. Have your vehicle towed to a repair shop.
