Service traction system warning?

Service traction system warning?
So I'm driving my 2008 C6 today and as I'm accelerating with the traction control off The car starts to vibrate, I could feel it through the shifter too. Text appears on the speedometer/tach that says, " service traction system, and what looks like a transmission outline to the left of the text flashes on and off intermittently. I drove home slowly. I have GMPP. Never had a problem before so I don't know how to proceed. What's my next step? Thanks for any help.

With it running rough, it could be a coil wire off or bad, like this:

Could be a wheel speed sensor.
Autozone or similar parts store can read the codes for free.
Or just take it in and let the dealer fix it.

As posted above, likely a sensor has gone bad. Bad steering wheel position sensors have been known to cause similar issues. I would get it to a dealer ASAP. EDIT - check the plug wires first (I need to pay more attention to some of the useful posts by others )
