Whacky traction control light

I think this is a new one on this forum: My 2008, 4.2GT, 27k miles, has developed an odd traction control light. When I pull away at any speed, the traction control kicks in as if I was trying to drive the car in the snow.

Subsequently, the car went almost nowhere, so I turned the MSP off and all of the usual ABS messages came on, plus the shock absorber light, but the car moves normally, typical ABS sensor behaviour I think, but wondered if anyone had had the whacky traction control light?

The battery is 4 years old, the car doesn't get much use hence the mileage and particularly now as I have a fantastic Stelvio, so I'm hoping it is a worn-out battery. Thoughts, please?

Battery issues throw up all sorts of random warning lights. If it's not used much and you don't keep it on a trickle charger then there's a decent chance that's what the problem is.
