Default Traction Control trouble

anyone had trouble with Traction Control? My service light is coming on after pulling from my gravel driveway onto the paved road.I started turning off the system before driving and that helps but still get a light now and then.

Thats just normal that it kicks on. I did the same thing going from a gravel road across a highway and it kicked out all my power and a car was coming. So yea, just leave it off when turning.

Wait, your service engine light comes on, or your low traction light comes on?

If its service engine- I don't think that should have anything to do with the TC engaging.

Could be looking at a problem in one of the wheel hub assemblies. When the light comes on, get the code read. The car could be thinking that one of the wheels isn't spinning because a sensor is going bad.
