LSD and DSC light?

anyone else with LSD get there DSC light blinking when going around tight corners, say in a parking lot, not going very fast, but pretty tight radius? i also see it blinking other times when accelerating from a stop, but not accelerating fast enough to cause traction lose. mine has been blinking i think because the LSD with the tight radius is making one of the wheels loose traction? but the acceleration blinking? does the DSC light blink if there is slippage in the clutch or something? i wouldn't think so.

One of several things that DSC is looking at is any delta between the rotation of the wheels so if one is vastly different from another it computes this as a potention 'problem state'. Also the steering sensor looks to see what angle the steering wheel is (how much turn) and this one, combined with the wheel speed delta is almost certainly putting it into a problem state.
