Low brake fluid level could cause that. Bad ABS wheel sensor. Brake switch. Go to Autozone and ask them to put the scanner on and see what codes you're getting.

Why would the traction control warning light come on and lock the car in park; could it be the brakes need to be done

Have to have the car checked for codes & diagnosed,
like every problem you ever had, with any vehicle

Same procedure every time-- all problems

Check battery
Check for codes
Check factory trouble charts,bulletins,google,you tube,gather the
required info to learn the system your having issues with
Do the required testing to find a problem

You know how long it has been & should know in detail
what was done,what you paid for & should have been shown
up close that work in the past & have a log book on your brake
work

So NO --doubt unless you neglect to do anything but drive a vehicle, that brake work is needed

The problems is in the ABS Braking System,the Trac Control
tells you that

If the brakes do not come apart once a year,then you need to do
some cleaning & lube there also

2003 cts, i took it for a safety and they did not disable traction control, when putting the vehicle on the hoist, now the traction control and abs lights come on randomly, but turn off when i restart the...

well while putting the car on the lift, traction control does not need to be disabled, and will not cause the abs/traction light to illuminate, these cars are known to have terrible wheel speed sensors that are brittle and tend to brake or malfunction for no apperent reason, and the wheel speed sensors are what control your abs and traction conrol units and they are normally what make the light come on on your dash, the warranty on the sensors was prolonged for that reason, so depending on the mileage of your car they might be covered, hope this helps

2003 Cadillac CTS - the car won't shift from park if you start it and don't have your foot on the brake. Also, the traction control warning light is always on, and the over-hood brake light works, but the...

sounds like you have a bad brkae light switch, which is located on the brake pedal assembly. a bad switch will not let you shift out of park and you will not have any brake lights as the car does not recognize that the pedal is being pushed and brakes engaged. easy to replace switch if you are handy, if not this is a inexpensive repair at any mechanic. hope this was helpful is so please rate 4 thumbs.

check to see if your brake lights work if not then check fuses first and if fuses are good then change brake switch. if the light do work you will need to change the solenoid in the shifter housing.

The ABS, Traction Control and Brake Warning Lights came on in my 2003 Cadillac CTS. I took it to a mechinac who turned the rotors and replaced the pads. The lights came back on but the brakes seem perfect....

lights usaly come on when there is a system fault. check for a broken or chiped wheel speed sensor ring, or a damaged wheel speed sensor. try disconecting the negative battery terminal for a few seconds to reset lights
