Default Traction control light problem Please Help

My buddy just bought a 1999 C5 and it has the selective ride control. When he first starts to drive the car when it is cold and he makes a left turn his traction control light comes on and then goes off. He took it to the dealer and they said this is normal. I told him I did not think it was normal. Any ideas what is wrong would be great. Thanks

May be the wheel speed sensor or tire air pressure.

It does seem to be normal. I read about this on the Z06 forum. Everyone concluded that theyve had similar incidents and it is normal until the traction control can "Calibrate" itself.
