Why is this light on ????
My traction light is on along with the ESP bas light. It came on once before then they went off now they are on and I noticed the alignment is off

Most likely your steering wheel is off center. It's an easy fix by adjusting the drag link. It could also be your wheel speed sensors but I would try centering your steering wheel first.

If the steering wheel is not off center you may have an ABS sensor that has failed or if one of the ABS tone rings is damaged or dirty you will also get ABS/ESP lights

Hey Heather, gotta agree with the others on your steering being off center. Just take the two nuts shown below on the drag link and loosen them. Now the adjuster will turn on axis. Turn it either up or downward, totally dependent upon which way your steering wheel needs to go. I've had to do this a couple of times, very common issue and easily resolved. You can eyeball it, but it is better to get something like I have ( AEV Procal module) which will tell you right when you're on center. Do not be surprised if the lights do not go off immediately. It takes awhile for the computer to update, in my case about 20 miles or 40 minutes.
