Had to go round and round with a customer on a new vette about this, reading him the manual on system operation and even bringing out a gm field engineer and waste everyone's time for something that was 100% normal. Wanted to tell him if you never wanted to break traction then why did you buy a massive hp and toque v8 sports car? Just get a Cruze and be more than happy.
I guess it doesn't hurt to check but today's cars monitor everything and if your system isn't working right I'm fairly confident you'd be seeing a MIL or abs light by now.

It sometimes throws off a blinking traction light,but more often than not it doesn't in wet conditions.In dry conditions the light will come on more consistently.I never use that disable button.Guess I wont get a decisive answer,it hasn't thrown off any trouble codes,so for now I'm going to assume its fine.Certainly doesn't hurt the driver experience at all,just nice to know if you car is doing something wrong while its still under warranty.Thanks for the ones who provided input.
