After starting the vehicle in the morning, the traction control light/stability light came on. Pushing the stability control button hasn't changed this issue.

It sounds like you have a wheel bearing hub that is out which houses the ABS wheel speed sensor, which can cause the light to go on when it doesn't read correctly. But to be sure let's run the codes to see what comes up.

Here is a video of how the job is done in case you need it:
