    So yesterday coming back from work while it was raining and the road was all wet, as I was at the traffic light when it turned green I pressed on the gas and some weird noise came from the gas pedal area as the traction control light was flashing I'm not sure if that's normal or not but I also have a video. The video is in zip file as it won’t let me put it as a normal video.

    When accelerating in corners on wet roads, my 2019 ORP often activates traction control.
    Seems to me to be normal with the OEM Dunlop Grandtrek AT20.
    They really are almost dangerous in the rain.
    I'm going to drive it for another 3 months, then its time for winter tires. Next spring i'll put something else on it.

    There’s noise from the traction system when it’s triggered and it’s mentioned in the manual.

    Yep, you’ll likely hear that when anti-lock brakes/stability control activates like it sounds and definitely if you use hill descent or A-TRAC. It makes a racket but it’s operating as expected, I promise.

    (Disclaimer: I haven’t watched the video)
