Traction light while braking?

Happened only once. A half mile after a fuel stop, navigating ramps and junctions, I slowed from about 50 for a gentle curve. Minimal steering input. The traction light came on and there was ABS like intervention felt through the typical numb brake pedal. Brake performance reduced. Same thing through the next gentle curve a couple hundred feet later. The road looked clean and dry to me. I flipped the traction button a few times on the freeway. 5 miles later, brakes are back to normal with no traction light.

Brake fluid level is fine. It performed well in a panic stop with 8 aboard and a 4000lb utility trailer.

Did I hit an oily patch on the road? I went through the same junction multiple times over 4 days. Only happened that time.
