no. what would cause the trac light to come is one of drive tires was turning way faster than the other one, causing loss of traction

If the ABS and SVS lights are on with the Trac Off light, you have a bad wheel sensor. If it's just the Trac Off light, push the button above the radio.

No brake pads Do not. Cuse your track light to come on. Bad Hub bearing in the front or back of car...

    The Trac Off light comes on after a few minutes of driving and the transmission bangs into gear when going from drive to park to reverse. Any ideas why would be greatly appreciated.
