I've had the "low trac" light come on a couple of times over the years, and I don't even have the traction control option....

That light comes on when your ABS senses a wheel speed differential greater than the threshold where your ABS would activate. Do you guys have staggered wheels where the rolling diameters are slightly different? Or have you changed gears and not updated the computer? Maybe it is just a bad wheel speed sensor or loose connection to the sensor. My winter blazer did that a while back. I had to replace the bearing/sensor assembly. Not sure what it would require on these cars.

I'm lowered, which shouldn't affect anything, but with the same size tires all around.
