I believe its the EBD, 'electronic brake distribution' system. Though allied with ABS it is more likely Honda's electronic stability system.
Last weekend I had the oportunity to drive VIR in the cold with only snow tires. Even over the continuous howling of the tires the racheting was noticeable in tight and medium turns where the Fit drifted across the many apex. It is normal but it is definitely out of character.

Vehicle Stability Systems I have data on work by comparingvehicle attitude and 'adjusts' by addressing pressures to brakes and adjusting throttle signals to correct what is programmed to be a not desireable position. It is very conservative to 'take care' of inexperienced drivers. Most competition drivers don't like VSC because it reacts much sooner than the comp driver as they usually like to 'hang-it-out' a bit more than the programed thresholds are set to interfere.
One problem we see here is too many young drivers come in thinking they can drive as wild as they want and VSS will 'drive it right' for them like some video game They can then text without woory.
We tell tell to try a competent racegame like F12002 or 2006 and text while they are lapping. So far no one has made without crashing. Some of them got pretty sober looks. Maybe the county mounties and highway patrollers ought to try that as a teaching aid. Step up and try the driving while texting or cell phoning ... (set the vehicle speed at least at a competitive level) and watch the fun.

actually it is quite difficult to drive as slow as 25mph
