If the abs/traction light is on you have a problem with the system. When the problem is fixed the light will reset itself after a short drive.
Check that you have the traction control button turned on.
The abs computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
From what I know your abs is what has the traction control built in, your abs controls your master cylinder, so if you are having a traction control problem you are going to want to replace your abs box not your master.
