Traction control sensor diagnostic question

Sometimes. Not all the time. When I make a turn at speeds over 35 the Traction control light will blink like it would if you were on ice or water. But its happening in the dry. Is there a sensor going out that I should replace? Its weird because it isn't consistent at all.

Any advice is appreciated.

"Steering angle sensor/Turn rate sensor/Acc. sensor", this sensors would cause that issue..?!?,,

I have the same issue. It is very intermittent. I have not had the time to attempt to diagnose it.

Have you tried turning the steering full lock left to right or right to left?
Any codes registered in the ECU?

I will do all of the above.

Now I am thinking about doing the 5 speed conversion. Talk me out of it
