I had a similar problem when I first bought my car back in 1993 but it was triggered by a strange occurrence. Whenever I ran over one of those botz dots on the road, in California these are used as slightly raised lane markers, it would trigger the ABS light then the TCS would activate and reduce power temporarily and then then the TCS light would come on as well. It still drove OK but since the car was new to me, I was a little concerned. Took it back to the dealer and they changed the TCS control unit behind the driver. They got a new one from Honda-USA which was reprogrammed to be less sensitive to road bumps of all types. Never had a problem since. You might try to see if the TCS unit has the latest programming updates. If you don't have access to checking that, try changing the TCS control unit out with a known good one from a friend and see if the problem stays or not. I would also disconnect the connectors and put them back in at all points just to reduce the chance of corrosion on any contacts within these connections. Remember gentlemen are cars are getting up there in age and that also means possible corrosion on connectors which can wreak havoc on computer inputs and outputs. JMO-ICBWAl
