You say check engine light and also Traction. There are 2 different computers.
If you need a new EBTCM (Electronic Braking & Traction Control Module) they are only available used and cost between $1200 to $2400, and that's if you're lucky enough to find the same exact one you have. There are several ones made for a '99 depending on options.
But first, as mentioned already you should post the codes you have both active and history.

Example of the pump/EBCM bolted together. You can see the letter easily looking at the unit in your car. The pump rarely goes bad. The only part you need to replace is the half that has the letter.
Example of the EBCM itself. Different code

There are 20+ DTCs that the EBTCM can have. Some are easy to fix, some are not. PLEASE post ALL the DTCs in all the modules.
That will give us the proper info so that we can help you.
