DSC Light wont go off

Hi I hope someone can help. I took the X in for the brakes to be done. The Check Brake Linings warning came on. On the way to the dealer the DSC light came on and would not go off, I presumed it had something to do with the brakes. After changing the brakes the light still wont go off. The dealer wants me to leave it there so they can investigate but I thought I would mine the considerable wealth of knowledge here first. Thanks

Found an article where the remedy was simply reading the fault code off the computer. Apparently if DSC throws an error up, the light will stay on till the error is cleared.

X5SA, follow the link below and you can find my experience with the DSC light. A simple fault code reset did the trick, however, the $tealer tried to replace a part that was suspect, but I declined. It's been about 3K miles and so far, so good. I hope this helps!
