Low Trac means Low Traction. if the light goes on, it means your car noticed that your wheels are spinning. Especially in winter, slow down and let your wheels grip the road. Spinning tires will make ice beneath it.

What causes the trac off light to come on in a 2003 Oldsmobile alero?

The Trac Off light will come on if you push the traction button
located below the automatic gear shifter. If driving and the light
comes on, as well as the check engine light, then there is a
malfuntion with the system. If low trac comes on, it means just
that. You have low traction! Hope this helps :)

Why do you get a groaning sound with low-trac on your 2002 Intrigue?

That is your ABS motor working its magic to try to get you
traction again. Dont worry about it, its completely normal.. Low
Trac uses the brakes (ABS) to balance torque to the front wheels.
The groaning you hear is the ABS braking the wheel that has lost
traction to keep it from spinning, which transfers torque to the
other wheel. Sounds like it is working as designed.
