What colour was the light when it came on? When the system activates a light comes on to tell you it is working. If the light is yellow or green don't worry about it. That's the system working correctly. If it is Red, get it looked at by a good mechanic. **It uses the brakes to work properly**.
Traction Control is a system that is awake all of the time. It constantly monitors whether your getting unwanted wheel spin. If it detects a wheel slipping it uses the brakes to slow that wheel to stop it spinning too much.

Hi, these systems are all linked together. Most commonly, one of the wheel speed sensors is not reading or is reading incorrectly. This can also occur on slippery surfaces where one or more wheel slides enough to cause the sensor to drop the signal, but not enough to meet criteria for an abs or esp episode. If the light comes back every time you turn on the ignition, there is a deeper problem.
The system has detected a fault in the electronic stability program - brake assist system. You have an electrical connection at the rear wheels secured to the inside of the brake area and are viewable from under the vehicle. It is a small wire harness running to each wheel. Grab the connector and wiggle it around, and make sure they are tight. Due to the connector being mounted low to the ground, sometimes they become dirty or corroded, not making contact. Do this on both sides and see if the lights turn off.
If the light does not turn off, you have to replace dynamics sensor, which is mounted UNDERNEATH the center console in the car. There is a "lost communication to dynamics sensor" and "low voltage to dynamics sensor supply"..

go to your local parts store in their belts and hoses catalog there are belt routing diagrams have them make a copy for you on your vehicle
i would check battery connections and test battery. a battery can have a bad cell and run lights but not have enough amps to spin a stater. if everything on battery is good i would suspect a bad starter

You're probably right. It may be too new.
