There are actually a few types of problems reported for the traction control in a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado. The most common issue is the light seemingly comes on unnecessarily, and doesn't go back off. In many cases, the system just needs to be reprogRammed. However, before You ignore a light and assume there really isn't an issue, You should consider a few components that actually trigger the light to come on. The most common issue is a bad wheel sensor. These sensors are connected to the traction control. You may also have an issue with the anti-lock braking system or Your vehicle could have a bad steering rack that needs to be replaced. In less common cases, it can be a faulty rotational speed sensor or bad steering angle sensor. Another problem reported is with the engine. An issue that causes the vehicle to go into the reduced engine power mode will disable traction control.
