I have an indicator light coming on with wrench beside the Traction Control symbol. I unplug the sensors on both sides and reinserted them. The indicator light stayed off for 3 days and then came back on. I have taken off the tires and nothing jumps out as being unplugged or broken.

Any suggestions?

What I recommend is taking the car to a nationally recognized parts store and having the computer scanned for codes. The fact that the light is on indicates there is a code set which will identify the problem. Most parts stores will do it for free, so there is no money out of pocket.

Let me know what you find.

Thanks for the information. I put on the OBD reader and it came up with no DTC's, however the light still comes on. Is there a separate Traction Control sensor?

To the best of my knowledge, there isn't anything seperate. If the light is on, there should be a code.
