Default Traction control kicks in...but...

So - I've had difficulty with my rear locking diff. Well documented on here - apparently I need a new one.

However, is this problem related to the locking or not?

I have noticed, when going around some curves (and not necessarily in inclimeant weather) around 50kms (30 mph) ish the traction control will kick in. The curve isn't necessarily like a 90degree curve, but it does require a slowing of speed.

Normal or related to the rear diff now being "open".

(of note, when I take the same curve in my HSE RR, nothing triggers)

Can you pull codes? There may be a fault in there somewhere. But as far as I know when in "normal" mode, no programs, the rear diff will not lock - same for center. So it sounds more like a speed sensor issue to me. As you running stock tire sizes?

You probably have a loose component in the front end. Worn bushings, wheel bearing, etc. Also a un calibrated steering angle sensor can cause that.

replacing the sway bar bushing in the front soon. Had thought about the bearings both front and rear.

I believe my angle sensor is ok. Will check (gap tool?)
