If the check engine light is blinking-don’t drive it! If not blinking, you an Drive it to an auto parts store such as Autozone and most will read your codes for you for free. Then you can post those codes here and someone can offer help. The codes will be in the format of P0123. ---

+1 to Purebred’s suggestion. And, I can add that the lit-up Traction Control Light is a side-effect of the Check Engine Light. Once the problem that caused the CEL to light up is resolved, the TC light will turn itself off.
