Yellow traction control lighted flashed today...

Yellow traction control lighted flashed today as I was driving around a long, sloping freeway onramp. No slip at all, slow speed. Out of the corner of my eye I see the yellow triangle flashing. What gives? Some imperceptible amount of wheel spin enough to enable traction control? Is the yellow triange suppposed to flash whenver traction/stability control enables?

Yes, the inside wheel has detected some slippage. So traction control is triggered, this is normal.
