I have similar messages on my cars message center. The message center says service traction control and ABS system. I checked the codes on my OBD2 reader and no codes are stored on the computers memory. Makes sence since the check engine light is not on. It would be nice to know which sensor it is but since there is no code it's hard to tell. What can I do? Buy a sensor and go around and try each one?
If your trac and abs are both on. the problem could be a wheel speed sensor.
on some GM cars this sensor is built into the vehichles hub unit. making the bering and sensor one sealed unit. cheap hub units can be gotten (under 100 bucks) at autozone
WHEN YOUR TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS SERVICE LIGHTS TO COME ON.THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO USE THEIR DIAGNOTSIC EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOT THE SYSTEM NOT A HOME FIX.
I believe that is your "wheel speed sensor" I replaced mine and all those lights went off

SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM
The IPC illuminates the SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM indicator in the message center when the electronic brake control module (EBCM) detects a malfunction in the traction control system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination. The SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM indicator illuminates for 60 seconds when the condition is present. The IPC sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
TRAC OFF
The IPC illuminates the TRAC OFF indicator when the following occurs:
?€¢
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) inhibits the traction control system due to a malfunction in the traction control system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination.
?€¢
The body control module (BCM) detects that the traction control switch has been pressed (signal circuit is low). The BCM sends a class 2 message to the EBCM in order to disable traction control. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the EBCM requesting illumination. The BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
