Information
Traction / stability control warning light: meaning and what to do
What it means
Flashing while driving means the system is working to stop wheel spin on a slippery road.
Can I keep driving?
Yes. The traction / stability control light is information, not a fault. It tells you a system is on or needs a simple action.
What to do
Ease off the throttle. If it stays on solid, the system may have a fault; have it checked.
On some cars it shows as text

What the color tells you
Amber or yellow lights mean a system needs attention. It's usually safe to keep driving carefully, but don't put it off.
