Default VSC, "wiggle lines"

I assume those "wiggle lines" that light in the lower right of the instrument cluster means the AWD is slipping. I'm getting them when I go around certain cloverleaf exit ramps, and it doesn't feel like it's slipping at all. One time the VSC light also came on, but was gone when I next started the car. Anything to worry about here?

Most likely need to zero point calibrate the yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensor.
Possible of the steering angle sensor looses its zero point at times.
There is a procedure by jumping some pins at the DLC3 connector.
Or just go to the dealer and have them do it. (scan tool)
Some may charge, some just do it for goodwill.
Less than 5 min process before test drive.
