Thank you for your responses. I have tried to turn the trac off, but it doesn’t make a difference. The light stays on. I will have the speed sensor checked.

I have had the same issue and it only happens when the temps are cold (winter) and what I found out is that Its the ground wire on the frame under the drivers side back passenger door. Mine was loose and rusty. I cleaned it off and replaced. If i get snow/ice build up on the ground it will act up again, but once i clear the snow off it works good again. I have had no issues since last January (2019).
