I've had both '16 and '17 model years throw the flashing slip light and intervene with brakes while having been in long press mode, during an aggressive and bumpy switchback hill climb. Inside rear tire most definitely left the ground.
I can also confirm pedal dance eliminates this effect on the same stretch of road.

If I were designing the system, I would make the flashing warning light a notification that something is wrong ("DUDE your sliding!"), rather than letting the driver know everything is working as usual. If there was some sort of TC/VSC fault, you would still want that warning to appear, right?

If it's flashing, it's doing something.

I know of a driver who can do drift donuts all day with a 5 second press, but can't with pedal dance.

What is this world coming to?

You can also use Techstream to put it in inspection mode. I’m not sure if it’s 100% identical to PD mode though. I haven’t spent much time in PD mode due to laziness so I can’t say for sure. I have successfully captured the canbus traffic related to inspection mode and use a Raspberry Pi to turn it on automatically. Problem is I am normally moving before the Raspberry Pi finishes booting and the car ignores the canbus packets for inspection mode if the car is moving so it was never very practical. Need to port my code to an Arduino that boots almost instantly. But laziness and lack of time has prevented me from getting to it.

It's the same. The pedal dance is offered as an alternative to techstream.

Off topic-Yesterday i fully turned off the trc/esp.
And had a u turn on a wet surface and this light came on
how come?
As i know atm theres 3 options -vsc sport ,trc off with "abit of esp off" ,fully off on long press @the esp button.
So if it is completely turned off it wont turn that light on -or else this light isnt what im thinking it is .

I was able to replicate this consistently earlier today (on snow/ice).
With the long 5 sec button press, I was doing 180 and donuts in a parking. The slip indicator light was never coming on no matter the amount of slip angle or wheel spin or complete 180 spin UNLESS I touched the brake. Every time I touched the brake the slip light flashed and the ABS kicked in. The reason for the ABS was probably because I was on snow/ice, but the light was not flashing if I was engaging ABS in straight line, only if I was drifting/sliding AND braking.
I didn't seem to noticed any nannies except the ABS, but the brake pedal was higher/harder than normal ABS, so maybe that was ice mode (especially since it was icy...).

And when the slip light showed up ,did you feel it intervening ?

It also happens when a drive wheel leaves the ground.

It's hard to say, as I was not going really fast and the ABS was kicking in because of the slippery surface. It seems there was no intervention except the ABS. But the brake pedal seemed firmer and higher than normal, so maybe ice mode.

Hey Op, you pull the fuse yet?
