Actually, you have 2 bullets. Not 3. But I assume your 2 questions are in 2.
1. As stated if there is an arrow or 'outside' on the sidewall, yes they are directional. Installing the tires wrong will reduce the tread performance while driving but I don't think it will trigger the TCS 'traction control system.
2. What does this mean? Could be a whole lot of things. Every manufacturer has different TCS and some need to be reset after changing/rotating tires. Some may need to be reset after changing tire pressure!
As far as the bup,bup,bup. It could mean lose lug nuts, alignment, or balance. If the TCS light goes off and on, it could mean a brake malfunction if there is noise.
3. Why does this start after tire rotation? Again a whole lot of issues may have popped up. Your mechanic should be able to diagnose the problem fairly quickly.
Looks like you didn't do a PPCI by a qualified independent mechanic. He would have spotted this problem and have you talk to the dealer. Most indies do this service for free.
