Default Traction Control light

I have a 95 Fleetwood Brougham and the traction control light is always on.
The Cad runs fine and I am getting about 22-23mpg all around driving and the engine is very smooth.
Any ideas?

You lost a wheel speed sensor in one of your wheel bearings, up front most likely.
I am not 100% as this is a 95.

You need to find about what code is stored. Is ABS and or SES light on?

I can't remember the code number but it indicated that the front left sensor was bad. I cleaned it then finally replaced it. The code is gone but the light is still on.
Wiring?
Connector?
Computer?
I'll have to look into in some more.
If anyone has any ideas or experience in this please let me know.

Wheel speed sensor will set ABS code and turn on ABS light along with traction light. There are both ABS and ECM codes, they will many times turn related light on,that can turn Traction Control Light on. There is a switch that will turn Traction Control off and Traction off light on. Do you know how to use the Onboard Diagnostics using control head? Do you have FSM?

The onboard diagnostics? I can get the codes but I can't clear them. Let me know if you know how they are cleared.
