Default check engine light because of spinning tires

When ever i give it a lot of gas in the rain, once the tires start spinning the check engine light comes on, but then goes off after a little while.

Does the truck have traction control? Im not too sure about the options that were available on these trucks.

And this is in the Durango area why?

And you wonder why you spin the tires when applying lots of gas in the rain why?

No further comments from me.

Most likely it's going to be the rear wheel sensor (ABS) located on the top of the axel.

Be easy on it in the rain if you work the spider too hard your going to fry it man.
