Sorry I don't have an actual picture but it'll describe it.

It's a picture of a car from the back with 2 swerving lines behind it like an S. Sorry for the poor paint pic lol

Ahahahahaha! I love the drawing!

Anyway, yeah... traction control. I used to have it come on a lot in my Ralliart ... whenever one of my tires would come off the ground.

Brake fluid is prolly a little low. There is a sensor that reads the fluid level and when you accelerate fast enough, it can cause the fluid to "slosh" around enough and make the sensor go off. Just add a tiny bit of brake fluid and it should stop.
