Default Traction Control Issue

My traction control light has been coming on briefly when I first apply light throttle from a stop...No, the tires are not spinning, but I can hear the traction control system activate briefly as the light comes on.

Important note = I have a Diablew tune on the car that disables the traction control system. I have had this tune for over a year, but the issue has only been happening for a few months.

Again, light throttle from a stop, no tire spin...any ideas?

Are your tires on the front worn out or worn more than the rears? I had this happen and new tires fixed it.

Yes, the tires were quite worn, but I actually just got 4 new tires installed today and the same problem is there. Happening at almost every stop/go.

New wheel bearings perhaps?

Check also for a break in the wire harness going to your front wheel bearings. I had a break and was able to splice a new piece of wire in the harness. A break would likely be close to the hub where it gets a lot of flexing (10-16" from hub)
I would also check and clean the connectors for the hubs.
Someone here had posted a while back how to check with an ohm meter but not sure who or what the readings should be.

Went ahead and replaced both bearings with Timken. Problem solved.
