X6 3.5i DSC light coming on
 

Hi, I haven't posted in a while but traded my E70 on the X6. I am loving it but when I floor the gas the DSC comes on, light flashes and I can feel the power drain. This is on straight smooth roads and often when trying to overtake which can get hairy. Any ideas?

From my knowledge, it could be due to a couple of scenarios

1. Remember the XDrive system translates the torque to the wheels that most need it, in some circumstances the car behave's like a front wheel drive car, if you make a hard lane change while accelerating it could make the front wheels to spin a little and triggers the DSC system.

2. Too much air preasure on the front tires could make the car to feel too loose and the tires to stiff loosing grip, I recall once I put 40psi on my front tires and the DSC went crazy every time I accelerated kind of strong, I lowered the tire pressure to 35 and problem solved

Hope any of this 2 things will work for you

Thanks, I will check the tyre pressures right now.
