Hello there
let me try to explain it the best way i can
If you are talking about the light coming on when you are driving in
slippery conditions, this is normal. If you are talking about it staying
on all the time, the ets is either turned off or you have another
problem.
Let?s take a moment and explain why the electronic traction control
which is called Enhanced Traction System (ETS) warning light will turn
on when the engine computer
sees a problem. The ETS system monitors wheel speed via the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS). If the ETS system sees a wheel spinning due to snow,
ice, rain etc., the ETS computer sends a request to the vehicle?s
engine computer to reduce torque. The engine computer responds with a
combination of strategies. In the engine computer?s bag of tricks to
stop wheel spin it can perform any one or combination of the following;
cut fuel off by trimming or turning off fuel injectors, ****** the spark
timing or up shift the transmission. In the days of old we just let up
on the gas pedal. Now the computer does it for you. If you have an
engine running problem it is more of a problem than you realize. The
engine computer is the high command center. The engine computer will
work and respond to information from the other computers in the vehicle.
But in the event there is a system or running problem that the engine
computer is responsible for, ?it will? lock out all of the other vehicle
computers. If there is an engine running problem that causes the engine
computer to store a code and turn on the ?Check Engine? light guess
what computer doesn't talk to the others? The engine computer. The ETS
computer gets all put out when this occurs and turns its warning light
on in protest. So, there you have it. If the check engine light is on
the ETS warning light will come on as well and the ETS system will not
operate until the engine computer problem is corrected.
How do I cut off my ets lights on my 98 buick skylars

It stands for Enhanced Traction System.
On your gearshift is a button that when depressed will either turn on, or turn off the traction system. To make it go away, just press the button.
Hope this helps

ets stands for enhance traction control. You have a code in your computer. It can be numerous concern. you need to take it to someone who has a scanner to read codes. Most likely a ABS (antilock brake) code.
