ASC light Flashes

Why when breaking(losing) traction & ASC is on, the ASC light flashes? Doesnt that mean it gets turned off for that moment? As when the light is on, it depicts that ASC Is turned off. IS it not supposed to prevent this from happening and actually getting traction? SOrry, im a newbie

I am not sure why it is coming on when breaking but the light flashes as the ASC works on acceleration. It shows the system is working.
On Braking it should be the ABS working not the ASC.

you got me wrong, I meant breaking, not "braking"
Breaking in terms of losing traction (i.e loss of grip)
