Also yes the 97 of course was the first year and yes the ******* year but they had active handeling or trac control. it is simple 1 mode not like the later years and the abs system is located directly behind the rear end and not in the front like the 98 and above.It does indeed have the wss in the hubs and all that good stuff
Because the TCS must see a difference in wheel speed. If the tires aren't at least a 1/2 inch bigger overall, in the rear, it thinks the wheels are spinning and engages the TCS.
Check your tire sizes again. 245/45/17 front, 275/40/18 in the rear are the stock sizes.
