Traction Control error.

Yesterday I started the car and started driving slowly on a dry day and the traction control kicks in as I start to accelerate slowly. I can feel it's braking one of the wheels. Most likely the front left. I pulled over and turned off the car and walked around just to see if maybe one of the tires was low but it was fine. I started the car again and started driving.

It kept doing it so I switched to Sport+ mode which turns all that off and then it was fine. I drove for about 7-8 KMs and then when stopped I turned it back to normal. It was fine after that. Haven't driven it since but has anyone had this problem?

Have an appointment for service this week.

Just as a follow up. The problem was a vertical acceleration sensor on the right front wheel. The write up from the mechanic said "found value from sensor to be implausible". They replaced the sensor and harness under warranty.
