Around that time to save fuel GM had a lock up feature in the transmission that prevented slippage in high gear . This could stick ( fail to release )when you stop keeping you in high gear which would cause you to stall.Could be very intermittent.The lock feature is controlled by a wire going to the transmission.We cut it on 3 cars 1 grand prix and 2 luminas . They never stalled again after that.Used veh wiring dia.Probably from book in pepboys.Noticed no change in power,operation or mileage. Hope this helps.

The low traction light comes on in the 2003 Buick Century if the road is icy or if the road is wet. This is a warning light to let the driver know to slow down. If the light is coming on for no reason, the tires might be the problem. Bald tires can cause this light to come on.
