Traction control active light comes on sometimes for a couple seconds when taking off from a dead stop then light goes off...this happens on dry pavement... can anybody give suggestions on what my problem could be? Hub Assembly maybe? Speed sensor maybe? I dont know where to start to diagnose this problem... Thanks for any help!
Usually caused by a wheel speed sensor on the drive wheels. Check the sensor mounting, wiring, and tone ring for damage.

I would recommend you have the vehicle scanned for trouble codes. You can get this done at no charge at your local Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts store.
Record the code numbers and reply back to this message and we can go from there.
Based on your description, I would guess you may have a HWSS ( hand wheel speed sensor) issue or possibly an ABS wheel speed sensor problem, again, this is only a guess until you have the codes read.
Let me know.

First, is the ABS light on? Does it come on when it's doing it? Make sure the brake fluid is full, and the brakes are still servicable, ie, pads still have meat on them. If so, the abs control module or a speed sensor might be on the way out. This is a safety issue, and I would recommend getting the truck to a good mechanic to have it checked out.

THE SPEED SENSOR IS LOCATED INSIDE THE HUB ASSEMBLY. THE TWISTED WIRES GOING TO THE SENSORS ARE PROBABLY AT FAULT. THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HARNESSES ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH A DEALERSHIP.

SOURCE: what would cause traction active light come on
just because it is a non slippery surface does not mean your wheels can't break traction. if the abs light and traction active light do not stay on continuously afterwards, i would not worry about it. if they stay on for a long while after you break traction or take off, i would consult a local mechanic or dealership with access to a diagnostic scanner

My wife says the ABS light has also came on and stayed on so she would shut off car and the light would go out...however I have not ever seen the ABS light come on and stay on. She seems to just drive the car and not tell me much unless I ask her specific ?s I guess as long as the car goes she figures its OK :(
