How do i know when DSC button turn on ?
 

As i mentioned earlier this week on a different thread that i have DSC warning light/abs/brake light came on.

my wife drove this morning, every time she step on the brake the abs start to control the car, and when she accelerate on gas it's hardly move.

how do i know when DSC Button turn on ? cause press it on/off the other day when i initially found the problem ?

thanks in advance

I'm not sure I understood everything you tried explaining but you have a problem for sure. I doubt you'll get a remedy for this online. I would suggest your mechanic. Good luck.

If you have the DSC switch, I think it's used to turn it off. When you initially start the car DSC is on. When you hit the DSC button it turns it off and a light comes on (there's a triangle symbol with 4x4 too). I could be mistaken but I believe that's how it works.

You are not mistaken the 4x4 light stays constantly on if DSC is off and blinks if its engaging.:thumbup:

As was discussed in your previous post, when the ABS/DSC/etc lights all come on on your dashboard, it is likely a sensor problem. It isn't anything to do with the DSC button, because that only lights up the DSC light (or the DTC light, or the 4x4 light, depending on the year and model - they all mean the same thing)

If the sensor was fine, you could push the DSC button and see a light come on (as above). Pushing it again turns the light off. It resets when you restart the vehicle. Sounds like the sensor has an intermittent failure.

So now the failed sensor is most likely causing the DSC to engage, limiting power because it thinks that a wheel is spinning. That is what your wife experienced.

You need to get the vehicle repaired by a dealer or other shop that can plug in a diagnostic computer to read the codes and see exactly which sensor has failed. Doing it yourself or without a diagnostic aid means the mechanic will have to look at all of them.

I had the same problem and I replaced the front left ABS sensor + steering angle sensor.

thanks a million.
i'll let my mechanic check them out tomorrow.

just want to give you an update on my x status.

the lights are gone by itself. this is the second time.
i have to wait and see if it will be on again.

It is better to have a professional check... Mine kept doing the same until they were on constantly.

Just recently the 4x4 light on my 2005 3.0i came on and stayed on. Took it to dealer (still under 4y/50k warranty) and the steering angle sensor needed to be replaced.
