The traction control requires the anti-lock brakes to function. If there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system then it won't turn on. The abs light is lit up because there is a problem with the anti-lock brakes.


If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
