These might be two different problems but let's fix the warning light to see if that fixes the problem. The traction control light usually comes on when there is a wheel bearing hub going out because the wheel speed sensor is built into it. It is probably one of the front hubs. here is a video that shows how to change them out but to be sure let's run the codes (CAN SCAN) to see what comes up. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon for about $36.00.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is a guide and video that show how to do the bearing hubs just in case you need it:
