My understanding is there is a defect in the gas tank that causes the float to stick or get blocked when there is about 5 gallons or less in the take. The only sollution I have seen is to replace the fuel tank.

What does 'traction disabled' on a 1995 Cadillac Sedan DeVille mean and how do you reset it?

It means the traction control is disabled. By default when you start your car it's enabled and will kick in on lose gravel ice or snow disbrituting power to the necessary wheels and cutting engine power to control the car. It also disingages cruise control. To turn it off the switch is in the glove box compartment. Then it will display "traction control off". Now if it says this all the time I would assume you need to take it in to a dealer and have it checked out. Personally I don't care if mine works or not. Just more stuff to fix on these cars.
