Default random traction control

Recently the traction control came on without cause and cut the throttle. It only lasted a second but it is the second time it happened.
Did anyone have a similar incident? I am afraid it will get worse. I am trying to get more info on the problem.
2016 c7 Z51 with automatic.

Describe the driving situations and what you were doing when it happened. How do you know TC activated?

Default random TC

It seems to happen when it is not quite warmed up and I gas it to find out when the tc will kick in. The TC icon lites up and stays on momentarily when I let off it. It does not happen when its warm.

So you're tromping on the gas pedal with cold tires? I'd say you're experiencing exactly what is supposed to happen when T/C kicks in.
