    Try disconnecting the ground cable on the battery for about an hour. Reconnect it, start the engine and let me know if the lights are still on.

You would need to get the codes read from the computer as these may all be related. A check engine light can cause an ETS, which inturn can cause an ABS, or vice-versa.

This a technical bulletin for your car
Hope this helps, if it does please leave feedback
Good Luck



File In Section: 5 - Brakes
Bulletin No.: 63-50-09
Date: March, 1996
INFORMATION
Subject:
"ETS OFF" Indicator Lamp On with No DTC's Set Models:
1996 Buick Skylark
1996 Chevrolet Cavalier
1996 Oldsmobile Achieva
1996 Pontiac Grand Am, Sunfire On vehicles equipped with Enhanced Traction System (ETS), the "ETS OFF" indicator lamp may come on and ETS and Cruise Control might become disabled. There may be no ABS or PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) stored and there may be no "Check Engine" lamp on. This condition has caused a high rate of unnecessary IPC replacements.
The PCM sets a Type "C" or "D" FAILURE RECORD which sends a message to the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) to turn the "ETS OFF" indicator on and to disable ETS. The PCM can then disable Cruise Control, but may not turn on a corresponding "Check Engine" lamp. These Type "C" or "D" Failure Records are not stored in the normal Current or History menus.
41807575
The technician is instructed to check normal operation of the "ETS OFF" switch and the ETS system. The technician is then instructed to check for Failure Records and directed to Section 6E3-A of the Service Manual, see chart. When the PCM Failure Record is corrected, normal operation of the ETS system and Cruise Control should return.

Will my ETS tracking system cause other problems to my car

If your ets light is on, it just means the traction control has been disabled due to a problem within the system. It will do no damage but you will be without any traction control and possible abs if that light is on too.

The ets light on the dash is on and i cant shut it off. what can cause this?

the ETS is electronis traction system. There is a switch on the shifter that controls the on/off function. If it does not there are several things that can cause this. A problem with the switch, wiring, and the ABS just to name a few. Have the car scaned and get back to me. Good Luck
