Yellow triangle warning light always flashes

When I hit full throttle in second or third gear the triangle warning light (traction control) always goes on,it started about 14 days ago,I always have to shut down the PSM when I want to go full throttle.My car is aligned properly and tire pressure is good to.If my car should have 700 hp I would understand but it only has 520 hp at the cranck.
Anybody got an idea what could cause this ?

Are you getting any CEL's? Or any psm/abs failure lights?

Seems like your PSM isn't working correctly...

It's the traction control light but I've seen that my front tires have a lot of wear on the inside so I've ordered new ones and hope this will solve the problem..
