★ Top Answer
If the traction control light in your Ford Ranger illuminates, it typically indicates that your truck lost traction at some point. The light will blink to alert you that the system is actively working to prevent traction loss in slippery conditions. If the traction control light remains on without you initiating any changes, there may be a malfunction with the system. You can manually activate the system in snowy or icy conditions to enhance your traction, but if you didn't do so and the light is still on, there may be a problem. The system utilizes sensors on the wheels to detect traction loss, so it's advisable to inspect these sensors for any debris accumulation.
