Sounds like a wheel speed sensor... All three lights use that for their associated functions.

If its the ABS sensor which it sounds like it is, you will have to replace the wheel hub assembly. you can't just replace the sensor. The wheel hubs aren't terrible, it took me about 3 hrs and mine was being stubborn.

yea i replaced the right front when i did the suspension i brought 2 of them so i still have an extra one.... but will that be why the traction keeps going off while driving on flat roads?

If the car can't read the wheel speed sensor on one wheel or it's being erratic, it won't know what to do and disables those features on the car. i.e. No traction control and abs... The front hubs are different from the rear so make sure you know which one it is before you try anything.

You have a tire pressure sensor? Do all GPs have them?

Call around to a few repair shops, and ask if they can check your car for ABS codes. Diagnostic fees can vary, so it pays to shop around... wink
