my coolant light is on always... As for the low traction light, I saw that on mine a few days ago too.. I didn't even think I was braking fast, didn't feel like I slid or anything. Weird. Only other time I've seen it was when I first got the car and was playing around in an empty parking lot in the rain.

I didn't think I had traction control.

OBDII models had that option
I'm pretty sure the lowtrac light comes on if your abs is active, or if you brake extremely hard right before the ABS kicks in, only time I've seen it. I've never seen it come on when you have wheelspin, or else we would all see it on the 1-2 shift.
Oh I saw it on one other occasion, there are some twisty mountains south of Fresno, when I was out there I had one rear wheel leave the ground while the other still was grabbing, that was the first time I had ever seen the low trac. light, I felt pretty good to make it pop on. My passenger was lucky they were asleep, they probably would have **** themselves if they saw how I was driving.

I have 95 z28 and it has ASR/TRAC control I saw lit up one time in San Diego while going around a curve on a overpass I felt the *** end of the car start to slide and saw the trac light lite up and felt the car get traction, I was like wtf just happened, then there was the other time in Tucson,az when i was on my way home from work one night I remember it was raining really bad on the interstate and saw the light come on again didnt think much until the *** end came around then I realized that I was Hydroplating..that was some scary ****..
......well long story short roll into the median wich in AZ are very big its basically like a ditch about 15 to 20 feet long, got the car stopped and just went about my buisness after checking my pants....

It comes on when one of the wheels starts spinning faster or slower than the wheel on the opposite side of the car. If your doing a burn out your wheels are probably spinning at the same speed, thus no light..
