Out of the owners manual


Traction Control System (TCS)
This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of
the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake
pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine
power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and
stability. A feature of the TCS system, Brake Limited
Differential (BLD), functions similar to a limited-slip
differential and controls the wheel spin across a driven
axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than
the other, the system will apply the brake of the spinning
wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied
to the wheel that is not spinning. This feature remains
active even if ESC system is in the “Partial Off” mode.
Refer to “Electronic Stability Control (ESC)” in this
section for more information.

So are various grinding sounds normal as the traction control system kicks in?

My wife's Honda made a bunch of noise when the traction control kicked in, similar to what antilock brakes sound like when they are pulsing. That could be interpreted as a grinding noise.

Could be...TCS applies the brakes individually to different wheels via the ABS pump. Those pumps make a ton of noise when active.

I have had my D for 18 months and have never had the TCS kick in. I must be doing it wrong.

Frequently there is also a feeling like the rear end is slipping just a split second before it catches when accelerating from a stop. I"m assuming these are all just quirks of the vehicle.
