Yup... that's an indicator for a light being out in the back.

Isn't that the light that indicates that the traction control has been activated?

the traction control light is the one where it shows the car leaving a squiggly line per side. Kind of like signs posted to notify you the road up ahead will have bends.

Car with 2 curved lines = VSC kicked in. It should only blink and then go away once you stop sliding/peeling out

Car with 3 straight lines = Tail light bulb out. This stays on until you get the bulb replaced.

Slightly OT, but don't want to start a new thread:

Can you remove the high-mount light bulb without setting off that warning light? I hate that light turning on when i step on the brake as i have a spoiler with the 3rd brake light built into it. I don't like both lights turning on simultaneously.
