Slip Indicator blink when hit pothole

The Slip Indicator is normal. When your tire hit the pothole or uneven surface it lost traction. The Slip Indicator just reported this loss of traction.

Don't know about the metal vibration.

 

Could it have been the ABS as part of the traction control?

 

Its the abs that vibrates. It's not cool when the slip indicator is on and you try to brake, and the car won't apply them. The brake pedal goes mushy for a half-second.

 

Usually I don't hit pot holes, but here in Houston they sneek up on you. For instance last night, after making a right turn BAM! Pot hole mid turn. And then natural reaction after the bump is to apply the brake.

 

Ah, here in the north you either watch out for the potholes or go fast enough you don't feel them.

 

Lol, I heard metal vibration coming from under the dash. Usually more sound from the side that hit the pot hole.

 

It's kind of a spring "doinnnnng!" sound to me, but a relatively low pitch one... I wouldn't think of it as a metal sheet sound.

There are so many holes and bumps in Sydney roads that I have this at least every other week... in fact even at home there's a drainage grate at the bottom of the ramp into the carpark that seems to have a habit of setting it off. Note I'm pretty sure I've done it with my foot off the pedal (ie. only regen brakes operative).
