Get your bearings straight. That might fix your problem

Could have something to do with your wheelspeed sensors used for the ABS. Should get the code read.

That would also illumniate the ABS light.

Since he didn't say the ABS light is 'on', I *assume* it is not.

ETS (Electronic Traction System, IIRC) is simply a software routine in the PCM (Powertrain Control Module, the engine/tranny 'puter) that reduces the fuel injection, and thus engine power/speed, if the front tires are spinning from too much power/too little traction.

You can turn the system 'off' with the button. The default position is for it to always be 'on', with no lights showing.

Kody is right, that it receives it's data from the ABS wheel sensors.
It also will be turned 'off' automatically if the handbrake isn't all the way down (there's a little switch in the console that is activated when the handle is 'down').

So check the handbrake position and its sensor switch.
