Today I ran into a strange issue. I was pulling up my gravel driveway which is uphill. It's actually a short distance before it levels out. I put it in drive and as soon as try to ease up the hill, the Traction light started flashing and I heard a clicking sound coming from the driver's side wheel. It went away once I started moving more quickly. I tried replicating it and same thing. Slow start triggered it. No other lights came on. Any ideas? I know this is a newb question, but this is a blind spot for me. I did some initial searches and possibilities are all over the map, from CV axle, speed sensor, to low tire pressure. I'm hoping this is just a loose gravel road issue.

I use this as my daily driver, so is this something to sideline it until I find the issue? I appreciate your advise in advance.

It was probably one of the wheels slipping on gravel. The speed sensor will immediately pick that up and activate VSC/TRAC to try and keep it from spinning.
