Default traction control light

97 C5.. The traction control light came on with a message of maintence. Can I fix it myself, or do I need a dealer?

1) find the grounds, and clean them.
2) reset the codes
3) if the problem persists, post the codes.

For the eyelets you can try just spraying wd40 liberally on the connection.

For the plug in type ground, take it apart and clean it.

This fixes the problem for many and is good preventative maintenance even if it fixes nothing.

All of this is covered in detail in the "Electrical Problems" sticky.
