Scan test of the ABS (Antilock Brake System) should help with diagnosis on the trac cont light... The dome light switch an integral part of the door latch assembly. 'Sometimes' a good washing out with WD-40 then blowing that out with compressed air will fix the dome light problem!

You will probably have some luck with the dome light fix... However the other troubles will need a little more car savvy and equipment that 'most' DIY'ers simply don't have !!

Traction control uses the ABS sensors. The computer senses the speed of each wheel & when the minimum & maximum speed of the each wheel compared to the others is off , the TCS is applied https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKtqDlC-rHs Yep, the dome lights door switch is in-part of the latch. The electrical part of this latch is on the lower back side of it, so if you can , loosen the 3 screws and remove all but one top screw ( to keep it lined up) It's connected to the actuator rods so don't worry that it might fall in. it won't With the Window up, Get some penetrating oil ( with the plastic hose on the nozzle) and try in and around the it to coat the entire latch.
