Had something weird happen during a recent road trip.
I was doing the speed limit (70 mph), and in the far right lane of a 3 lane highway. There was a semi in the middle lane, and it was starting to rain.
The semi started really getting in my lane (it was 3 am, so I figured he was dozing behind the wheel), so I punched it to get away from him.
When I did this, the truck downshifted just like it always does, but the traction control light came on and started flashing, and didn't stop till I let off. It didn't feel like it was spinning, as it took off like normal, but I was more concerned with getting away from the semi.
The only thing I know of that makes it come on like that is a spinning tire, and there's no way my truck broke the tires (LSD, 3.92s) loose @ 70 mph, even on a wet road.
Any other ideas ??
