Trac Light is on to tell you that the traction is low. It senses this by "looking" at the wheel speeds. If one of the wheel speed sensors has failed, broke off, wire broken, or just dirty, the computer cannot "see" this wheel speed, and turns on the trac low light. This can also cause abnormal brake pad wear, if the car is equipt with traction control. The computer will begin to apply the brake on the wheel that is spinning faster. This will wear the pads out on the side that the computer is able to "see" the wheel speed. You need to get the sensors looked at. Check them to see if they are physically in place and the wires are hooked up.

The fuel filter is located in the pressure line that runs from the fuel tank to the engine, near to the fuel tank.
Keep the engine off for few hours before replacing the filter, to get rid of some pressure in the lines.

2004 Monte Carlo SS, 68k miles, transmission rebuilt 6 month ago. "Check trac system" light is going on, ABS light, and trac off light. Hesitated and front wheels spun for a second when I accelerated...

your traction control and abs work off the same sensors,so you need to look at the sensors or even better get the car on a diagnostic computer, it will save you hours looking for something you cannot see.
