My wife told me when she was driving our GX she took a corner too sharp and the passenger side tires hopped a curb. She said that an alarm beeped three times and stopped. There is no damage to the vehicle and no warning lights are on. Has anyone experienced this before? My only guess is traction control waring? But I have driven through standing water at highway speed and heard the clicking of the traction control activating but never a beeping alarm. The truck seems to be just fine, drives good as ever, so I'm not that concerned just wondering what that alarm could indicate.

 

definitely the traction control system. There are different levels that correspond to the severity of loss of traction.

The full on beeping is the final warning before you lose complete traction, I believe. In other instances it will engage the system with only the amber warning light as the indicator it is doing anything.

 

Yup! It was VSC telling your wife the traction control system kicked in.

Cheers,

Same thing will happen if you "jump" over the speed bump or a curb. Specificially, try to go over bump at 50-60mph. When wheels loose traction for a moment, you will receive warning beep from VSC
