Default Dash warning light - What is it telling me?

So I looked into my owners' manual and do not see this light identified as well as what it means. It will light up when I initially turn on the car then go out after I start the car. Then it will come back on.... sometimes (see pic. Car is running. Light is on.). Otherwise stay out. No other warning lights are on.
So what is it telling me? Caution. Look around? For what?

Traction Control mane! ASC+T

You are doing too many burnouts!

There should be a button to the left of the steering wheel that will turn it on and off. Maybe you are accidently hitting it. Turning the ASC off will cause the light to stay on. Otherwise it should only come on when the wheels are slipping.

If you didn't accidentally hit the switch it's also possible the cable popped off at the throttle.

I suppose it's also possible you have a bad ABS sensor but most likely you hit the switch.

I would also suggest it could be ice but probably not in San Diego.

Oh...... Not too many burnouts. It's an Automatic. ASC button is on. I think that I will need to clean the wheel speed sensors.
Thanks for the help.
