Default traction control light

Well ever since i got my cam installed and tuned, about 50% of the time while its idling to warm up, the traction control light will come on. once it comes on, my traction button is useless, as the light is locked on. after a while the light will go off and i can at will turn the traction control on and off. the tuner didn't know exactly what was wrong with it. car runs great other then that. it doesn't seem to affect idle, drivability or anything else, just more so annoying as i want to know what is wrong. any ideas?

Yea once mine is off it stays off untill I disconnect the battery, then it will be on but turn off shortly therafter. I haven't been able to find a solution and apparently nobody knows what causes it or how to fix it???????

Mine had similiar issues as yours. I took it back to my tuner and he really didn't find anything that I can remember. He just reflashed it and all has been good ever since.
I will double check with him to see if he did change anything but I'm pretty sure it was just a reflash.
