Chevrolet Venture traction light remains on, causing battery drain issue on Chevrolet Venture

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Venture owners report experiencing issues with the traction control light remaining on, which can lead to battery drain. This problem may indicate a malfunction within the traction control system itself, potentially due to it being "hard coded" or starting to fail. Additionally, malfunctioning wheel-speed sensors can trigger the traction control light and contribute to the battery drain issue by failing to communicate accurately with the vehicle's computer about grip loss. Furthermore, if the battery light is also illuminated, it may suggest that the vehicle is drawing power unnecessarily from the battery, possibly due to an alternator issue. This continuous power drain can result in the battery dropping below optimal voltage levels, affecting its performance. To resolve these concerns, it is recommended that owners have the traction control system, wheel-speed sensors, and alternator checked by a qualified mechanic or service center.
