There is a problem with the ABS system. It is part of Traction Control. If the ABS is not working then the Traction Control is not working. You still have standard braking but probably no ABS. Have this checked by a professional, as it can be many things.
you have a problem with your abs system
The light is on because there is a problem detected by the ABS/Traction control module. Once the problem is fixed the light will reset itself after a short drive.
Problem with the ABS. The Traction Control is off because it uses the ABS to control traction. As this is part of the TC system it has also shut down. Have the problem with the ABS repaired by a professional and both will start working again.
Probably one of your wheel speed sensors

Traction control is part of the ABS (antilock brake) module.
the engine is going out. sell the car
The abs computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
Check that you have the traction control button turned on.
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.
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.
after fixing the whatever abs problems or traction control problems you had the light should go off automatically. if it does not you have not fixed the problem.
