I too do not have traction control..

when the light on the dash comes on it says LOW TRAC right?

I get that too sometimes. But it comes on more when i am going fast and i down shift, then the light will come on

My traction control would be turned off and it would turn itself on at times and I couldn't turn it back off. It ended up being in the tuning. I adjusted the parameter and all was well.
