Default C5 Traction Control Issue

So, had my tires rotated and an alignment this week. Drove it home (less than a mile) and parked it in the garage. Today I drove it to work and about 3 miles in all of a sudden the Traction Control was engaged and slowing the car. (I hope it goes without saying that there wasn't any issue to cause this...dry weather conditions and I wasn't pushing the car hard.). Disengaged traction control to allow me to drive it home. Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated. Not sure if the alignment would have caused a problem? (Seems weird that it would) but have not had this issue before.

Thanks in advance!

Might check your wheel speed sensor wiring and connectors being that you had an alignment and tire rotation done.
