I was driving on a level road, clean, smooth, etc. My car was fully loaded to the max capacity listed on the drivers door. When I got home I weighed almost everything on a certified scale just out of curiosity.
Had a big block in place of the pass seat, BB heads and a muncie trans on the back seat, about 100 pounds in the very back, me and some other stuff.

Someone kept screwing with me so I dropped it into fourth and floored it at the same time, went from around 5800 rpm to 6300, then I shifted to fifth and just looked down and seen the light on.

There is no way I spun a tire with all the weight and my mods. No strange noises, it didn't pull or kick sideways.

What could have caused the light to come on?

00SS!

they probably broke loose on a bit of dust you didn't see. sometimes you really don't know it, one time i floorded it at 75 and the roads were just a tad bid wet and i broke loose didn't even know just sounded like engine was roaring away, then i started moving sideways just a tad... or did you slam on brakes? if you dropped gears and your tires slowed down enough to break traction it will come on to... if you drop it into first at around 10 or 15 it usually comes on to.

When the low trac light comes on it means your front tires are turning faster than the rear tires. When you down shifted you probably didnt rev match and for a split second, your rear tires slowed down.

I tried to rev match it, usually I turn ASR off but didn't expect to activate it on a long trip.
I think it was riding the pass side rear bump stop the whole drive too.
Tomorrow I'm going to check everything out and do some maintanence, etc, put a lot of miles on it lately.

you must of spun allittle bit, it did what it was suppose to do.

its funny cuz when mine use to come on, it would be when im flooring it on the street, and it would be like a 10 second delay..(its like "no Sh*t B*tch!! i kind new i was losing control 10 seconds ago)
