DSC

How long have you had the issue?? Why was the motor(I am assuming we are talking about the transfer case activating motor what ever it's called) and calibration resistor changed? and have you tried running the transfer case adaptation reset? Maybe you have the wrong resistor?

About 90 days or so.

Resistor was fried and the motor wouldn't fully activate and somehow it was causing an error in can that wouldn't let me take the X out of transport mode (way too involved) and everything was recalibrated after installation. At first I thought it was rear joints so all that was replaced, yadda yadda and I can't throw parts at it at the moment, but here's hoping for a pay raise....

Edit: I guarantee I have the correct resistor after waiting forever for it to arrive in Saudi Arabia from Germany... ugh

Sounds like you are just experiencing laws of physics. DSC is post event correction it doesn't prevent unwanted yaw it corrects after it happens.

White stripes are slippery ask anybody that rides a motorcycle we avoid them like patches of ice.

Find a patch of empty pavement like an open parking lot with some snow on it (haa haa) some "Arabian snow" e g sand and do some power slides. Give a little too much throttle during a curve at a low speed. The car should start to oversteer (kick out the back end) and the DSC light should blink while the car bucks and bumps while it does it's magic and prevents a spin it will feel like chaos until things are smooth again.

If you get the car to over yaw and the DSC light blinks and the car "bucks" and then jerks back to straight then everything is working as designed

... with what Andrew just said - the back end "steps out", the 4x4 (DSC) lamp flashes and it's all over - car is normal again.

It feels kinda weird - you still get the initial "twitch" as the back end steps out but it isn't followed by the big lurid slide that normally follows. More like a second twitch and you're back on track.

I haven't pushed this too hard though - just a few times on wet roads so I get familiar with it. Next time we get some snow down here (in 6-9 months) I might give it a go...

Once you get the DSC to kick on try the same with it disabled. It will usually result being turned 90° if on snow. I did a test on fresh snow in a bit parking lot turning a constant radius turn right near the braking point and pressed the DSC button. Instant spin out!

So, how is this going? any progress?

[EODguy]

Well... I did end up with a nuked DSC and I am looking for one now, so I guess that means I'll have the dot

Nuked?

Isn't the DSC module part of the ABS module?

And I don't think a "tamper dot" is likely - that's a result of the distance recording in the LKM and IKE not matching. Pretty sure you can change out the ABS/DSC module with little difficulty - although it does need coding with the VIN of the car and calibration of the steering angle sensor (NCS for the first and INPA for the second).

[EODguy]

Really?

I thought that whenever you added a part that the ViN had to be changed to match the vehicle it gave the tamper dot.

Well some good news then, along with what I found wedged next to the drivers side seat rails.... a Mont Blanc silver pen!!

Probably the only unexpected thing I found in the X that hasn't cost me money!!

Excellent!
