I'm not sure, but my wifes 2000 Venture had that problem and it was the speed sensors on the front wheels. If the ECM can't determine wheel speed it can't sense wheel spin (a difference between the two drive wheels) therefore it shuts down the anti-lock brakes which is how it stops spinning, (it uses the brakes to stop the spinning). Maybe this is your problem, hope I helped.

Whats the difference between service engine soon and service vehicle soon?

To my knowledge it's the same problem, with different wording. Some cars just have a picture of an engine that lights up. ** added by saxtmich ** In some vehicles there are both service engine soon (ses) and service vehicle soon (svs) lights - like my 1999 Buick Regal for instance. Most of the time you will see the SES light turn on if there is a problem directly related to the engine. The SVS light turns on when you have problems related to other systems such as the traction control system or anti-lock braking system.

Is is a sensor issue if the service light and traction control lights are on?

These are most likely related - when the vehicle detects certain emissions faults it will turn off the vehicle's traction control - not a safety issue. The service light is on due to an emissions control fault - need to have vehicle scanned to find the source of the error.
