Traction light comes on and stays on

My traction light will come on and stay on while I am driving on the highway. It is infrequent (only happened twice so far). Both of the times the road was wet but I did NOT loose traction. Pressing the DSC button has no effect on the light. It will turn off after a stop and restart process. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Sounds like you have an ABS sensor going bad.

Anytime your lights go on it is a good idea to check fluid levels. Check your brake fluid...

When did you last check your alignment? How is your tire wear? maybe when you get to speed the senors are picking up signals that the rotation is off.
