This is not true,push the reset button on the instrument panel & the traction control lite will go out.By turning off the engine stops the current to the traction control.actually the guy above me is miss informed yes the condition that you described is possible and it is what is refered to as a parasitic drain in the world of automotive repair. the condition is possible with nearly any electrical system on your vehicle. this happens when a particular component malfunctions and continues to run after the ignition is switched off. i however cannot speak for your situation because i did not diagnose your vehicle , so i cannot be certain that it is the case , but it is however very possible.
