Help DSC light on
The DSC light is on in my wifes 2001 4.4 X5. I noticed the light after pressure washing the engine compartment, wheel wells, underside, and then driving it through a car wash. It has been on for about a week. Although the truck is running fine, I would like to try fixing it. Any idea what it could be? There are no other lights on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Could be a wheel speed sensor not reading (although I would expect also to see an ABS fault light). You'll need to read the fault code as upallnight points out...

I have a Peak tool and nothing is registering.. Hopefully it is a simple fix as I just replaced the radiator, hoses, expansion tank, etc.

Have you tried quickly to reset the steering angle sensor?
Turn wheel lock to lock once.
