Next time driving at highway speed in heavy rain, do the same in a straight line. Hopefully you'll notice how it pulls throttle when it detects even the slightest hint of hydroplane.
I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm just saying it always illuminates the dash light when doing so. At least it is supposed to. It would go against the vehicle's programming for the TC or SC to engage without alerting the driver via the lights on the instrument cluster.

Think about it. There are ZERO benefits to the system intervening without a visual cue. Otherwise all you are doing is confusing the driver, and potentially making them think something is wrong with the car.

I have a very sensitive butt dyno, and I've never had the car step in without visual confirmation.
