Any one with prior experience with the traction control light and ands light on dash and on my dash it says service abs which stays on there I've unplugged battery and let it off for few and still doesn't go off and even if you hit the traction control button it does do anything!! Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated !!!!

Did you try hitting 'reset' on the DIC?
If not try it.
Pull up the codes and write them down then post them here.
1. turn on ignition without engine running.
2. hit reset
3. push and hold option
4. push fuel 4 times.
Dic will cycle through the codes set.
write them down..
Do it again and then proceed to clear codes when it asks you to.
If it sets again when underway, you've got a problem and we'll need the codes to help. If the message you see can not be cleared you will be driving with out the aid of traction control, active handling or ABS..BE aware,,,

ECBM trouble...
No need to panic...really no panic stops with those lights on!! Been there done that...
The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) controls all of your “brake assisted driving”. ABS, Traction Control, Active Handling and (for 2001 and newer) Dynamic Rear Proportioning and Rear Stability Control are also affected, though you won't see warning messages for those systems.
You can still drive the car with this, just be careful. I have had fast cars in the past without any of these and lived...but if your dependant on them and then they do not work that can be bad.
There are many post about it.
Go to post # 65 in the link below for more great info.
