What does traction active mean on my 2000 chevey impala?

On a 2000 Chevy Impala, "Traction Active" indicates that the car's traction control system is engaged and actively working to prevent wheel slippage. This typically happens when the car senses a loss of traction, such as on a slippery surface (ice, snow, wet road). The system will intervene by reducing engine power or applying brakes to individual wheels to maintain control. The light illuminates to let you know the system is functioning.
