Follow Shawn's link regarding the ABS light.

Don't worry about the TracOff light; it is a consequence of the other 2 lights (ABS and SES) and will go away once those problems are corrected.

The SES, Service Engine Soon, light, means the car's computer (the PCM) has detected a problem with the way the engine or tranny is running.
It has stored codes inside its little memory, and it wants you to 'scan' those codes.
Go to any Checker/AutoZone/O'reilley's/etc. and have them plug thier computer scan tool into the car's data connector.
They do this for free, in hopes you'll buy the part(s) indicated by the codes.

Do NOT buy the parts. Often the problem isn't with the part, but with its wiring circuit, or with a completely different part.
Write down the exact P0xxx code(s), and report back here.
We'll help analyze the problem and determine how to correct it.

Hope this helps,
-Rick

PS: The profile says the engine is a 3.9 ram-air; that should be a 3.4engine (actually, 3400).

Betcha a quarter that it's the Service Vehicle Soon (SVS) light.

That's what usually comes on when a wheel sensor goes bad.

Autozone can read SES (Service ENGINE Soon) codes.
They cannot read the SVS (Service VEHICLE Soon) codes that apply to brakes, since those require more-sopisticated software and database than the AutoZone handheld scanners possess.
